Elizabeth Giele

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW/LCSW) and advanced certified hospice/palliative social worker (ACHP-SW) with over 30 years of experience providing counseling and coaching services to people throughout many parts of the United States. I respect and honor your decision to seek a counselor to help you with the challenges you are going through.

I work with clients from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective, meaning that I LISTEN to you non-judgmentally, and I LEARN from you about your values and dreams, what helps you most, and what your wishes are to improve your life, your relationships, and how you are feeling. In addition to deeply hearing you and your story, I provide interventions and support based in mindfulness and insight-orientation, life coaching, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, all of which will improve your confidence and your compassion for yourself, and increase your resilience to cope with whatever challenges have come your way.

We all go through losses and unexpected change and crises at some point(s) in our lives. I am here to help you navigate these upsets, whether it is the diagnosis of a serious illness, the death of a loved one, divorce, the loss of employment, questions about your relationships and sexuality, or helping take care of your elderly parents, to name just some common challenges we all may deal with. I am an expert specifically in life and personal development coaching; career issues; grief and loss; coping with life-threatening illness; navigating medical systems; LGBTQ+ concerns; integrating and respecting diverse spiritual practices; and compassion fatigue and caregiver support, especially for adult children and/or caregivers of elderly parents.

I look forward to working side-by-side with you to improve your health, confidence, and well-being, and to help you achieve your most fulfilling, authentic, and empowered life!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person treatment.

One of the main benefits is convenience and flexibility. Individuals can choose the communication method that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it simpler to include therapy in a busy schedule.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and if someone decides they need a different therapeutic fit, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy can be a practical way to receive professional support for many everyday mental health and life issues.
