    About Elizabeth

    Elizabeth Wilde is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, substance use issues, and relationship or identity-related questions. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful.

    Elizabeth uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning and wellbeing. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to strengthen motivation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach practical skills for managing emotions and reducing unhelpful thinking patterns.

    For people with a history of trauma, Elizabeth incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as one of several approaches to address distress linked to traumatic memories. She adapts pacing and interventions to each person’s needs and comfort level. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-directed and focused on small, achievable steps.

    Elizabeth describes her style as respectful and compassionate. She works with each person to shape a plan that fits their situation and values. The focus is on practical changes and building skills that carry over into everyday life.

    If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

  2. How these approaches translate to online sessions

    Elizabeth commonly draws on Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find personal reasons to make change and reducing resistance to new steps. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and develop healthier routines. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming.

    Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins are easier to arrange around work, while others prefer longer sessions for skill practice. Confirm the current session options before booking so expectations about format and timing are clear.
