About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with long experience in counseling and coaching. She brings 35 years of practice to help people facing stress, grief, career crossroads, and major life changes. She listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person.
She uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that begins by learning a client's values and goals. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven into sessions to build resilience. Narrative and existential perspectives help people make sense of big life questions and transitions.
Elizabeth also offers practical coaching for career and personal development. She can support those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the challenges of aging. She works with issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
Her background includes long-term work in medical and hospice settings, and a focus on helping people navigate healthcare systems and serious diagnoses. She also brings experience supporting LGBT concerns, veteran-related issues, and the emotional fallout from disasters and other sudden losses.
Sessions aim to increase self-compassion, clarify priorities, and build day-to-day coping skills. Elizabeth blends listening and practical tools so people can move toward more confident, authentic lives.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. It can help with stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and building a trusting relationship so the person can find their own solutions and strengths. It suits people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and calming practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, mood, and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to match methods to goals, values, and daily needs. That might mean blending ACT with mindfulness practices, or using narrative ideas to make sense of a loss, depending on what helps the person move forward.
Confirm the available online session options before scheduling, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to continue care when facing medical appointments, caregiving duties, or relocation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and coaching tools effectively in a virtual setting when the client and therapist agree on an approach.
