About Elliott
Elliott Lacki is a Connecticut psychologist with six years of post-licensure experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, and ADHD. Elliott aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful.
Elliott uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws on mindfulness practices to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them. He also uses cognitive-behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped by a client-centered stance, meaning the plan is built around each person’s needs and priorities. He has worked with people managing chronic pain, long-term illness, and disability, helping them adjust daily routines and expectations. He also supports those feeling isolated or stuck when thinking about life purpose, money worries, or building self-love.
Outside of work Elliott enjoys weightlifting, biking, kayaking, and time with friends and family. Those activities influence his focus on balance, movement, and small practical steps in therapy. Elliott aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
He partners with clients to set clear goals and adapt plans as progress is made. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he offers steady support while you make changes.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Mindfulness-based techniques help people learn to notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without reacting immediately. This can reduce rumination and make it easier to respond rather than react when stress or ADHD-related restlessness appears. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. These techniques are practical and skill-focused, and they are often used for anxiety, depression, and managing daily challenges related to ADHD. Elliott approaches therapy collaboratively. He will talk with you about which approaches feel right and adapt methods based on your goals and how you respond. Figuring out the best fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision. Online sessions offer flexibility for fitting therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you see facial cues and work through exercises live. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, short progress notes, or on-the-go support between longer sessions. All of these formats make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and schedules, and they let a licensed professional tailor session length and tools to match what you need.Questions people ask
