I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY with over 10 years of experience working with individuals (of all ages) and families in a variety of therapeutic environments. I have worked with clients presenting with a wide array of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family issues (parenting problems, relationship concerns), addiction, trauma, abuse, PTSD, and general life stressors. I additionally have experience providing counseling to children within the criminal justice system, as well as the educational sphere. Furthermore, my 5 years of experience in a hospital setting has developed my work supporting those with chronic conditions and end-of-life struggles.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I utilize these modalities to help individuals build mastery and create measurable goals; I also work with couples and families seeking to create more effective and healthy communication skills.
My goal is to create a comfortable and engaging open space for all clients. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion, while valuing their individuality. I enjoy watching people grow and build confidence, finding more meaning and joy in their daily lives!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have about therapy. For many people, beginning the process can be the most intimidating part. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you throughout the process. I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elana Klinger-Rogers. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Elana is great! In the few months I have been seeing her she has helped me tremendously with the issues I came to her with, while also helping me to discover and address things I didn't even realize I had going on in my life.
