About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience. She offers calm, attentive support and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach centers on listening closely to each person and honoring their values and goals.
She leans on client-centered work and mindfulness to help people notice what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and narrative techniques are woven into sessions to help people change unhelpful patterns and tell a clearer story about their lives. This often helps with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship questions.
Elizabeth draws on long experience with caregiving, serious illness, and end-of-life issues. She also helps with career questions, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. Codependency, family of origin issues, and communication problems are among the practical topics she addresses.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused. She listens without judging and helps people find concrete strategies that fit their values. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection, and hands-on coaching to build confidence and resilience.

How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and building a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood. This helps when someone needs support sorting values, relationships, or identity questions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then choose or blend methods with the client. That collaborative process makes it easier to try approaches and adjust as needed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work from locations that are convenient and can reduce the time away from work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, narrative work, and ACT practices to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
