Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than three decades of experience. She practices from a person-centered perspective and listens without judgment to learn what matters most to each person. She aims to build confidence, compassion for oneself, and practical ways to handle hard moments.
Elizabeth combines a strengths-based approach with mindfulness and insight-oriented work. She uses coaching methods and some cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people clarify goals and make steady changes. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
She often helps people facing losses and major life changes. Typical concerns include grief, serious illness, caregiver strain, career shifts, and relationship questions. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, and trauma-related challenges.
Elizabeth has specialized experience in hospice and palliative contexts and long experience supporting caregivers and people navigating medical systems. She also works with LGBT concerns and with those exploring life purpose and meaning.
Clients can expect practical conversation, guided reflection, and tools they can use between sessions. Her goal is to help people feel more able to handle stress, deepen self-understanding, and move toward more authentic, empowered living.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, or life transitions who want clearer direction and steady action. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence. This approach supports people coping with grief, relationship questions, and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time if something isn't a good fit.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to continue work during life transitions. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to fit meetings into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce disruptions while working through stress, caregiving demands, or grief.
