Elizabeth Everly , LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and women’s issues. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, motivation, addiction, grief, and the everyday strain of caregiving. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps a person can try between sessions.

She has four years of professional experience and has worked in a variety of care settings. Early work included teens in the criminal justice system and group education for people with addiction. She later supported caregivers and people receiving hospice and home health care, helping them prioritize needs and plan longer term care.

More recently she has worked with Veterans in a health care setting and has experience with programs like Medicare, Medicaid, in-home care, and veteran benefits. That work shaped her understanding of how systems affect health and access to services. She uses that knowledge to help people find resources and navigate complex options.

Her approach is patient-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy-oriented. She uses practical interventions such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and active listening to help people identify small, manageable changes.

She values unconditional positive regard and straightforward communication. Elizabeth encourages people to ask questions about therapy, to look for a good fit, and to take gradual steps toward goals when they’re ready.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build momentum when facing substance use, ambivalence, or low motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you progress. Together you decide which techniques feel most useful and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
