Elena has helped me grow and learn so much about myself. I spoke with her weekly for a while and she listened intently to everything I needed to say. Elena always had something insightful to say and often helped me to unravel the mess of what was going on in my mind. I highly recommended her!

My name is Elena Gregorio and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I got my master’s degree in social work from West Chester University in 2012 and have been working with individuals and groups ever since, focusing on mental health and/or substance abuse issues. This was a second career for me; I started out with a music degree and teaching elementary schoolers. But as happens to most people, life threw some curve balls and it was time for a change.
Perhaps you’re at a curve ball stage yourself and you have come here looking for some support. I would welcome the opportunity to hear your story and see if we are a good fit to set some goals together and start working toward the type of positive changes you would like to see in your life. I am a patient, compassionate, and nonjudgmental person in all of my interactions. I believe in the importance of dignity for all, regardless of background or identity.
My style in therapy can be an eclectic one, as one approach does not necessarily fit everyone. I tend to draw from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness-based therapies at first and then see if more experiential or varied approaches might work best for you. But we can discuss all of that in more detail, as well as any other questions you may have, as we get to know each other. Therapy does not have to be a scary, intimidating thing to get into! I look forward to hearing more from you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Excellent experience
Elena is great at listening and sorting through all the things going through my mind. She's compassionate, understanding and very attentive. I have found her support really helpful over the last year and would definitely recommend to a friend!
Elena is very easy to talk to and connect with, she's provided me with a lot of support and offered some great suggestions to reframe unhelpful thoughts and hold difficult experiences in a different way.
Elena really listens to everything and keeps up with my current life events. She makes sure to check in regularly, and really has a lot of good advice and offers stories and other experiences as a point of reference, which I love.
Elena has been an amazing help for me in this strange time. Its so nice to have someone talk you through issues from the outside. Thanks so much for your continued help!
BetterHelp is a great way to access counselling if you travel and have a busy schedule. It’s very accessible and easy to use and offers a variety of ways to make it work for you. My councillor has been great and so responsive and understanding. I would highly recommend.
I can’t say enough good things about Elena. I always feel like she’s on my side and makes me feel so comfortable and safe to talk about anything I want to. I feel so lucky to have been matched with her and I always enjoy our video sessions and our messages. :)
Elena is kind, thoughtful, supportive and non-judgemental. It is easy to share anything that is bothering me and she provides helpful suggestions on coping strategies.
Elena is a very respectful and mature therapist. I can talk to her like a friend and she gives the most supportive feedback allowing me to challenge myself and really dig deep to solve the problem.
This is my first time getting into counseling sessions and Elena is very helpful and non-judgmental. I found myself getting better each day whenever i open up and share my problems with her. Elena shares tips and wise words for me to move forward in life. She is indeed a fantastic listener. I guess this huge leap of faith has transformed a better version of myself. Thank you Elena. :)
Elena has been understanding, there for me when needed and helpful with strategies to cope with my anxiety.
