About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Lizzy) Campbell is an LCSW with six years of experience based in Illinois. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, sleep disruption, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and career concerns. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, and challenges around control, impulsivity, and communication.

Her approach blends clear, practical conversation with active problem solving. Sessions focus on identifying what fuels anger and frustration, learning specific skills to respond differently, and trying small experiments between meetings. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns, and Solution-Focused techniques to set achievable short-term goals.

Lizzy describes her work as straightforward and collaborative. She helps people break down stuck patterns and test new ways of handling relationship conflict and work stress. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and goal setting rather than long theoretical explanations.

She has experience across trauma-related issues and supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That background informs how she works with anger that comes from past harm or ongoing stress. Her practice includes attention to issues common in LGBTQ people and those affected by caregiver burden or adoption-related concerns.

Sessions are practical and solution-oriented. Clients often leave with concrete steps to try between meetings, clearer plans for handling outbursts or simmering resentment, and skills to reduce reactivity in high-pressure moments.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Elizabeth blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters to them so goals feel meaningful. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that sustain anger and then practicing concrete alternatives that reduce reactivity.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable steps. That approach helps people pick one small change to try and measure whether it helps. Together these approaches aim to combine understanding with practical change through collaborative decision making between therapist and client.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions are planned together so techniques and homework match what a person can realistically try between meetings.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so someone can use a break at work for a session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and solution-focused steps to a virtual setting while keeping the focus on practical skills and everyday problems.
