About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Wilde is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She also addresses addiction concerns, grief, anger, career stress, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Elizabeth approaches problems by noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing practical alternatives. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her main methods and also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR-informed techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when they fit. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings.
In sessions she works to reduce negative self-talk and to change repetitive behavior patterns that keep problems going. Conversations are direct and organized, often including simple exercises and goal-setting. Homework and short skills practice are common so progress can carry over into daily life.
Her background includes work with addiction and first responder issues, and she lists post-traumatic stress and personality disorder concerns among her focus areas. She also helps people navigating non-monogamous relationships, guilt, and compassion fatigue.
People should expect focused problem-solving and gradual skill building rather than open-ended talk alone. Elizabeth conducts therapy in English and practices in Ohio as an LISW. Confirm session options and formats before booking.
How Elizabeth uses structured approaches in online sessions
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot negative thinking patterns and test different ways of responding. CBT focuses on simple, repeatable skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step goal setting to reduce anxiety and depression.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT skills training breaks down distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication into concrete practices that can be rehearsed between appointments. When trauma memories are central, she may incorporate EMDR-informed techniques to help process distressing experiences in a paced way.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist and client review current needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan over time. Sessions include skill practice and short assignments so changes are tested in everyday situations rather than left theoretical.

Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
