Elliott Skaggs

Elliott aims to be warm and direct, helping clients name what matters and take manageable steps forward. Elliott uses a blend of practical, evidence-based methods to help people develop self-compassion and better emotion regulation.

He often combines acceptance-focused practices with skills for handling strong feelings and changing unhelpful habits. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, doable experiments between meetings.

In the therapy room Elliott works to build a trusting connection while also encouraging accountability. He listens for patterns in relationships and self-talk, then helps clients try different responses.

Many clients learn to notice old habits, tolerate discomfort, and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. He works with concerns like attachment issues, body image, commitment worries, communication problems, and struggles around forgiveness and guilt.

Elliott also supports people dealing with substance use, mood disorder symptoms, panic, and questions about life purpose. Elliott aims to make therapy accessible and culturally responsive.

He uses his training as a New York LMHC and a South Carolina licensed professional counselor to guide sessions, and he adapts tools to fit each person’s background and goals.
