About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, career shifts, and major life changes. She uses a systemic outlook to see how relationships and settings influence a person's problems.

That helps when concerns involve communication, caregiving, family of origin issues, or role changes at work or home. Elizabeth blends that view with client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to help people notice what matters to them.

Background and approach

Her practice focuses on everyday struggles and big transitions alike. Common topics include depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, and caregiver stress.

Elizabeth draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas to help people clarify values and make meaningful choices. Sessions may include coaching elements for career planning and life purpose, alongside psychotherapy tools for processing grief and trauma. She listens without judgment and helps clients try new ways of handling painful thoughts and feelings.

Based in New Mexico, Elizabeth works with adults who want straightforward, respectful guidance. She helps people build resilience and greater confidence so they can move forward with clearer goals and more ease.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and daily settings affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions Elizabeth considers family dynamics, work roles, and caregiving demands to help clients spot patterns and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and choose actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and navigating life transitions by focusing on meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and builds a trusting, nonjudgmental space where people can clarify what they want and feel supported while making changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques, then adapt methods that fit. The process is collaborative so plans evolve as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a quick break, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while dealing with work, caregiving, or health limitations.
