About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Marcum is a licensed social worker practicing in Texas. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience helping people during difficult life transitions. She works with individuals facing addiction, relationship and family struggles, intimacy challenges, and low self-esteem.
Elizabeth focuses on creating a calm space where people can speak honestly. She listens for the patterns that keep clients stuck and helps identify small, manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at restoring clarity and motivation. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns related to attachment and abandonment. She supports people managing codependency, divorce and separation, and the lasting effects of shame and guilt.
She also helps those coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability and the emotional strain those bring. Elizabeth has experience with addiction and recovery, including drug and alcohol challenges and related family impacts. She also provides support around HIV and AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to isolation and life purpose.
Men's issues and veteran and armed forces topics are included among her focus areas. Therapy with Elizabeth is collaborative. She helps people name what matters most, set realistic goals, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to help clients leave sessions with concrete steps to try before the next meeting.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and improving relationships. One commonly used approach centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of responding; it helps with low mood, self-esteem, and motivation. Another approach emphasizes attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how past connections affect present conflicts and intimacy struggles.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process lets the therapist and client decide which techniques are most useful over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These formats provide practical flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or travel.
