About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Elliott is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing family and parenting concerns as well as a wide range of emotional and relational problems, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Jocelyn helps people who are sorting out communication problems, relationship strain, and the stress of parenting. She also supports those managing mood challenges, bipolar disorder, addictive behaviors, and the aftermath of abuse. Her practice includes work with LGBT matters, intimacy-related issues, and identity questions such as gender dysphoria.
Her sessions mix practical skills and emotional work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems active. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and tolerating distress when feelings run high.
Jocelyn also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationship interactions, and she brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into conversations about change. Expect a conversational style that focuses on clear steps and small experiments you can try between meetings.
She commonly addresses family of origin problems, adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, codependency, body image, and communication breakdowns. Jocelyn aims to help people find more reliable ways of coping, clearer communication, and steadier emotional responses in everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jocelyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and practical problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central. EFT helps people notice how emotions shape interactions and find new ways to respond that reduce reactivity and isolation. Jocelyn will work with each person to identify which approach or combination fits their goals and situation, discussing options and adjusting as needs change.
