About Eliza
Eliza Marcus is a licensed mental health counselor with 30 years of professional experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Eliza brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for a worried parent.
Clients can expect straightforward, supportive conversations. She listens first, then helps shape goals that fit each person’s life. Sessions are adapted to what the individual needs rather than following a rigid script.
Background and approach
Eliza uses practical methods drawn from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and commit to small actions that match their values. She also uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s experience central.
Her background includes a long span of clinical practice across common life stresses and relationship challenges. She has worked with people facing caregiver strain, blended family concerns, separation and divorce issues, and work-related distress such as compassion fatigue and first responder stress. In sessions she addresses a wide range of concerns related to intimacy, eating, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and immigration-related stress.
Eliza often helps people clarify parenting goals, set boundaries, and rebuild trust after conflict. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on small changes that add up over time.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Eliza commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so work can fit into busy family schedules. Video lets you work face to face when that helps. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Chat and text are useful for short exchanges, coaching-style prompts, or follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a hectic routine.
