About Elli

Elli Billingsley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who brings three years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She trained in psychology and earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Oklahoma State University, and she emphasizes a warm, client-centered approach that helps people feel heard and respected. Elli blends person-centered methods with evidence-informed therapies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and identity-related challenges within LGBT care. Elli also supports people facing parenting and family dynamics, career stress, eating and body-image concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood management, and issues related to chronic illness, caregiving, and aging.

She draws from multiple modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address symptoms and build practical coping skills. Elli aims to create an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward their goals.

Her style emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and flexibility to meet each client where they are.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of parts and helps people notice, understand, and compassionately relate to those internal voices and feelings; it can be useful for processing trauma, inner conflict, and self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and reflection to foster insight and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elli works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Elli is offered through several accessible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility considerations and make ongoing care more practical for many lives.
