About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with dual credentials: ME LCSW and MA LICSW. She has 35 years of practice helping people with stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, relationship questions, and family matters including family of origin issues.
She uses a person-centered approach that begins by listening. Elizabeth asks about values, what matters to the client, and what practical changes they want. She focuses on strengths and on building skills people can use between sessions.
Her work draws on mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. She also uses client-centered and narrative techniques to clarify identity, life roles, and the stories that shape current behavior.
Elizabeth often helps people dealing with loss, serious illness, caregiving stress, and major life changes. She supports those coping with exhaustion from caregiving or compassion fatigue, and she addresses concerns around intimacy, sexuality, and LGBTQ issues when they come up in therapy.
In sessions she mixes practical coaching with reflective conversation. That can include clarifying goals, practicing mindfulness exercises, and identifying small steps toward change. Many clients work on sleep, anger management, self-esteem, and organizing daily routines to reduce overwhelm.
She works from New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting through the online options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions that align with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can better understand their own values and choices. This method supports people who want a conversational, respectful space to sort out decisions and roles. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, responsibility, and life direction. It can help when career shifts, aging, grief, or midlife concerns bring up bigger questions about purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques based on current needs, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean combining ACT, client-centered work, and existential reflection across sessions to match what helps most.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Ask which online session options are offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can maintain consistent appointments while juggling caregiving, work, or medical appointments.
