About Elli
Elli Billingsley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She has three years of clinical experience and holds a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Oklahoma State University. Elli offers a warm, empathic approach that focuses on listening first and then helping people find practical steps forward.
Her work is rooted in client-centered care combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other evidence-informed methods. Sessions aim to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Elli also addresses identity-related issues including LGBT matters, and she supports coping with life changes and relationship stress. Elli uses short-term strategies and longer-term skill building. She may draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to reduce reactivity.
Dialectical behavior strategies are available when emotional regulation skills are needed. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging options to fit different schedules and preferences. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
Elli emphasizes a nonjudgmental, affirming space where people can talk honestly about what matters most to them. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and try practical tools for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify values and take steps that align with those values even when emotions are strong; it can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them clarify what matters most.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Elli will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions let people meet when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and parenting responsibilities, and they let clients use the method that best fits their day-to-day life.
