About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both LCSW and LICSW credentials and more than 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, caregiving strain, relationship concerns, anger, depression, life changes, and career questions. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation rather than labels or jargon.
She uses a person-centered, strengths-based style that starts by listening to what matters to each individual. That listening informs clear, doable steps that fit daily life. She draws on mindfulness, narrative practices, and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes long experience with grief, hospice and palliative situations, serious illness, and caregiver support. She also works with people navigating LGBTQ+ issues, midlife shifts, chronic health challenges, and career transitions. Those concerns often overlap, and she helps people untangle what matters most right now.
In sessions she mixes coaching and psychotherapy tools. That can mean practicing mindfulness skills, clarifying values, rewriting problem stories, or building small behavior changes. Conversations aim to increase confidence, reduce reactivity, and make everyday decisions clearer.
Her practice style is calm and direct. She pays attention to values, personal strengths, and practical next steps. People looking to manage anger, rebuild relationships, or cope with loss will find an approach that balances reflection with action.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them, which helps with chronic stress, anger, and life transitions. Client-Centered work prioritizes listening and building on a person’s own strengths, and it supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain, and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to test what helps most, mixing mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and narrative reflection as needed. The aim is to match methods to the client’s goals and daily routine rather than force a single model.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while they address anger, caregiving stress, grief, or career decisions.
