Elli Billingsley, LPC

Elli Billingsley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She brings three years of clinical experience and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Oklahoma State University. Elli aims to make sessions feel warm and supportive so people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and on what a person wants to change. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and try new actions. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful.

Elli has a broad range of interests, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She also lists support for LGBTQ concerns, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas. Those topics often come together in practical ways during therapy.

When working with children, she integrates play-based techniques and trauma-focused CBT strategies suited to younger clients. Elli aims to adapt her methods to each person’s age and needs so conversations stay clear and useful.

Her approach is straightforward: listen first, name what’s getting in the way, and try simple, concrete steps. People who value a respectful, down-to-earth therapist may find that style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Elli often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors that lead to better daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. Decisions about techniques and pacing happen together during sessions.

Specific online session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before you book. Many people find online arrangements helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work also makes it easier to continue care through life changes and to use mindfulness or behavioral exercises between sessions.
