About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Everly is a licensed independent clinical social worker in South Carolina. She brings four years of professional experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. She works in a direct, approachable way and aims to make the first steps toward support easier to take.
Her background includes time with teenagers involved in the justice system and leading psycho-education groups for people with substance use concerns. She later focused on caregivers and individuals receiving hospice and home health care, helping them prioritize needs, find resources, and plan for long-term care.
Background and approach
Elizabeth has also worked with veterans in a health care setting and has experience navigating programs like Medicare, Medicaid, veteran benefits, and addiction rehabilitation services. That practical knowledge informs conversations about systems, services, and planning during sessions. She describes her approach as patient-centered, strength-based, trauma informed, and advocacy oriented.
She uses techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and active listening to address day-to-day challenges and deeper issues rooted in trauma or family dynamics. Elizabeth values unconditional positive regard and aims to be straightforward and non-judgmental. She encourages people to talk about what therapy is like, what they need, and what might feel like a good next step.
How evidence-based techniques adapt to online therapy
Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to help people manage anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxious patterns and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing helps people move through ambivalence about change by exploring values and small, realistic steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will adjust methods over time, combining exercises, short skills practice, and conversation to fit the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and screen-sharing worksheets, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn’t ideal, live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work consistently when schedules shift.
