About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 35 years of practice. She brings a person-centered approach that starts by listening without judgment and learning what matters most to each person. Her work focuses on helping people name what they want to change and take practical steps toward feeling more confident and resilient.
She blends client-centered care with mindfulness, narrative, and acceptance-based methods to help people face grief, loss, and major life transitions. That mix is used to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to career and life purpose. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and end-of-life issues.
Elizabeth draws on life and personal development coaching alongside therapy tools to build skills for coping and decision-making. Sessions emphasize practical strategies, clearer values, and small behavior changes that add up over time. She also helps people work through family-of-origin patterns, communication problems, and codependency concerns.
Clients who are dealing with compassion fatigue, LGBT-related questions, trauma, sleeping or anger difficulties can expect direct listening and collaborative planning. She also works with people managing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic pain or disability, and veteran-related questions. Her approach centers on understanding each person’s priorities and building on strengths.
Elizabeth practices in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. Her credentials include LCSW and LICSW, and she has decades of experience helping people navigate life changes and losses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters and take small actions that match their values. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation by focusing less on symptom control and more on meaningful behavior.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person's lead. That approach supports building trust, self-compassion, and clearer choices during times of loss or change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and style. She adapts coaching and therapeutic tools based on what the person needs and what works in their daily life.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time or time away from work or caregiving. It also allows sessions to focus on practical exercises, values-based planning, and skill practice between meetings. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
