About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Windley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing grief, loss, anxiety, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for depression, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and relationship concerns. Her tone is respectful and compassionate and she focuses on what each person needs in the moment.

With 35 years of experience, Elizabeth draws on practical tools to help people handle everyday problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Sessions are shaped around a person's goals and current challenges, such as coping with loss or managing stress at work and home.

Elizabeth also works with concerns that overlap relationships and identity, including intimacy issues, communication problems, body image, and LGBT matters. She can help people navigate addiction, bipolar-related difficulties, and the isolation that often follows big life changes. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is listed among her focus areas for those needing support around terminal illness and loss.

Her style emphasizes practical steps, gentle challenge, and steady support. Elizabeth helps people break problems into smaller parts and try new ways of responding. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Clients begin by identifying priorities and then work at a pace that fits them. Elizabeth encourages people to take small, achievable steps toward the life they want.

How CBT and practical therapy translate online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, trying new actions, and reviewing what worked - which adapts well to conversation and homework between appointments.

The process is collaborative. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to try based on current needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the best approach can take a few sessions, and adjustments are made over time so work fits each person's life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions when therapy fits more naturally into their routine.
