About Elsie
Elsie Pulupuna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who centers sessions on building stronger, safer relationships with others and with yourself. She emphasizes practical steps people can take to change patterns that have kept them stuck. Elsie writes and talks plainly in session so parents can follow along and use new skills at home.
Her approach focuses on creating steady support while addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior, and then tries out alternatives that feel more manageable. Work in sessions often targets communication struggles, control issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Elsie brings four years of clinical experience in Utah to her practice. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to shape conversations so people feel heard and can direct the pace of change. That means listening closely, reflecting what clients say, and following their goals rather than imposing a rigid plan.
Typical concerns addressed include panic and mood symptoms, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, and social anxiety. Sessions also cover relational topics like attachment difficulties, guilt, and problems expressing needs to others. The emphasis is on small, practical moves that add up over time.
People who choose Elsie can expect straightforward language and focused support for day-to-day challenges. She asks questions that help clarify what is getting in the way of change, then helps build steps to move forward. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.
