About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Windley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She offers steady support for those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, eating concerns, addictions, and intimacy-related questions. Her voice is calm and practical, aimed at a worried parent or someone feeling overwhelmed.
Elizabeth works from a straightforward, talk-and-do style. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can improve daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals so conversations stay focused and useful. With 35 years of experience, Elizabeth brings long-term clinical experience to common life challenges. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in session and helps clients sort through guilt, shame, loneliness, and complicated relationship patterns.
She also addresses body image, communication problems, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and questions that arise in non-monogamous or LGBT relationships. Elizabeth can talk through issues connected to bipolar mood patterns and eating struggles in clear, manageable steps. People meet her for practical strategies and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She works collaboratively, helping people set small goals and try new ways of thinking or acting between sessions. The aim is clearer choices and more confidence in daily life.
Using CBT Online to Tackle Thoughts and Habits
Elizabeth practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify thoughts that fuel worry or low mood and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking. CBT often includes small experiments and exercises outside session to test new behaviors and build confidence.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Elizabeth will work with clients to decide whether CBT fits their goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative, with the client’s day-to-day needs guiding each step.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between meetings. These options help match therapy to busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping focus on practical change.
