About
Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and an advanced-certified hospice and palliative social worker with 35 years of clinical experience. She also holds a Master of Arts and brings long-standing expertise to counseling and coaching across a wide range of life challenges.
Her practice is rooted in a person-centered, strengths-based approach. She listens without judgment and seeks to understand each person’s values, hopes, and goals. That understanding guides collaborative care aimed at improving relationships, mood, daily functioning, and overall life satisfaction.
Elizabeth blends mindfulness and insight-oriented work with life coaching and cognitive-behavioral techniques to strengthen self-compassion, build confidence, and increase resilience. She supports people as they face losses, sudden changes, and crises, including serious illness diagnoses, bereavement, divorce, job loss, questions about relationships and sexuality, and the responsibilities of caring for elderly parents.
She has particular expertise in life and personal development coaching, career difficulties, grief and loss, coping with life-threatening illness, navigating medical systems, LGBTQ+ concerns, integrating diverse spiritual practices, and addressing compassion fatigue and caregiver support, especially for adult children or other caregivers of older family members.
Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to enhance health, confidence, and well-being while helping them pursue a more authentic and empowered life.

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.
