About Eliza
Eliza Marcus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use at home.
Marcus draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. She listens to each person's situation and prioritizes clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theory. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be changed next.
People who feel worn down by caregiving, overwhelmed by blended family dynamics, or unsure how to handle anger and impulsivity often find the sessions straightforward. Marcus also works with concerns related to ADHD, eating issues, self-esteem, and career coaching. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and identify the small shifts that help at home.
Over three decades she has supported adults dealing with abandonment pain, codependency, divorce and separation, immigration stress, and first responder issues. She connects practical therapeutic methods to everyday family and parenting pressures. The emphasis is on usable tools and honest conversation.
To begin, the process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you might use and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying your values and taking small actions that align with them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and keep living toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, anger, and impulsivity by testing thoughts and trying small behavior changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that fit your goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and shifting the plan as you go.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the options available when you complete the platform questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around parenting, work, and caregiving demands.
