Elizabeth Giele, LCSW, LICSW

Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with decades of practice. She brings 35 years of experience and a person-centered approach to counseling and coaching. Elizabeth speaks plainly and listens carefully as people talk about the challenges they face.

She starts from a strengths-based perspective. That means she listens without judgement and learns what matters to each person. Therapy often includes mindfulness practices, narrative work, and acceptance-based techniques. Elizabeth also uses client-centered conversation and life coaching strategies to build confidence and practical coping skills.

Elizabeth has helped people navigate grief, serious illness, and end-of-life decisions. She also supports those managing caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the life changes that come with aging and geriatric issues. Career concerns, questions about relationships and sexuality, and compassion fatigue are other common topics she addresses.

Her work emphasizes clear steps and real skills. Sessions may focus on small, doable changes that reduce anxiety and improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She also helps people reflect on meaning and values when facing midlife transitions or major loss.

People who choose Elizabeth can expect a respectful, calm approach that centers their priorities. She invites clients to set goals together and to test what helps in everyday life. Her style is collaborative, practical, and grounded in long experience.

How the approach shapes online therapy

Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values while taking small, concrete steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, grief, and making life changes. Client-centered work centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to build insight and coping skills.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively to figure out which approaches fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and adapts techniques so they feel useful and realistic in daily life.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others use longer sessions to work through complex issues like caregiver stress or grief. The available session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during medical treatment, caregiving responsibilities, or when mobility is limited, while still focusing on skill-building, values work, and coping strategies.
