About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Eugea is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who focuses on easing anxiety and stress. She brings 38 years of counseling experience and aims to help people feel steadier and more capable.

She describes counseling as a partnership. Sessions commonly include talking through current problems, learning new ways to cope, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Elizabeth uses methods that help people change unhelpful thinking and build better emotional regulation. Her background includes long experience with mood concerns like depression and anxiety, and with life changes such as grief, career shifts, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She often addresses related struggles such as low self-esteem, anger, and guilt. In session she blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical strategies, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That combination lets her tailor practical tools to each person’s needs.
She encourages learning skills and adding tools to what she calls a life skills toolbox. Elizabeth works with people who want clear, usable strategies and steady support while they make changes. She aims to create an encouraging, respectful environment where people can try new approaches and build routines that help them manage daily stress and move toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as core approaches. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which are useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That collaborative process may include trying a skill in session and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging can fit short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy aligned with busy schedules and varying day-to-day demands.
