About Elizabeth
Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma, mood concerns, and anxiety. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a long background in pastoral care to her practice in Montana.
Her style is gentle and accepting toward people of all genders and sexualities. She uses client-centered methods to listen and help people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolbox for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related work and incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Elizabeth has worked with people facing chronic illness and hospice needs as well as those coping with addiction and grief. She has experience supporting people dealing with family problems, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her background includes years in pastoral ministry and work in group home settings with teenagers. Many clients she has seen struggle with co-occurring conditions such as substance use and trauma-related symptoms. She takes a practical approach aimed at helping people regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic.
Sessions focus on clear steps, coping strategies, and skills practice. Clients can expect a collaborative process that blends short-term problem solving with deeper trauma work when needed. Elizabeth works with adults across a wide range of life stressors and identities, offering flexible session formats to fit differing needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping clients set their own goals. In online sessions this looks like straightforward conversation about what matters most and practical steps to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT uses exercises, worksheets, and short skill practices that can be done during phone calls or sent by message for review.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses stored distress from past events by guiding safe, paced processing. Certain EMDR techniques can be adapted for video sessions and supplement in-person care when clients prefer remote work.
Deciding which approach fits is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and symptoms to find a method that feels right. Plans can combine short-term problem solving with deeper trauma work over time.
Online formats offer practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or between-session work. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
