About Thaddeus
Thaddeus Elder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 14 years of experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose.
Thaddeus encourages people to bring their own perspective and strengths into sessions. He treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them build on what already works. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to practical skills that can be used between meetings.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try out different responses. Thaddeus also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Those approaches are mixed with straightforward problem-solving and communication practice.
Clients can expect clear feedback and concrete steps to practice outside of sessions. Work often includes role-play for difficult conversations, short behavioral experiments, and developing new habits around stress and anger. The pace is set by the client's needs and immediate concerns.
Thaddeus supports people who are trying to figure out what comes next after a life change. He helps with questions about meaning, direction, and motivation without promising quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How CBT and DBT shape online sessions
Thaddeus commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in his online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings arise, which can help with anger and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. Sessions can blend CBT exercises and DBT skills practice so clients learn tools they can use between meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Practical tasks such as role-play, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments can be done remotely, and the therapist will help plan which methods suit the client's day-to-day life.
