Elizabeth Everly , LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in South Carolina with four years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She has worked with teenagers involved in the criminal justice system and led psycho-education groups for mandated clients addressing addiction, bringing practical skills and structure to challenging situations.

Her practice later shifted to supporting caregivers and individuals receiving hospice and home health care, where she assisted with prioritizing needs, accessing resources, long-term care planning, coping with chronic illness, and addressing dysfunctional family dynamics. More recently, she has provided services to Veterans and their families in a health care setting, applying her knowledge of benefits and clinical supports to improve care coordination.

Elizabeth is familiar with Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance processes, in-patient rehabilitation, nursing home and assisted living options, in-home care and hospice, Veteran benefits and health administration, addiction rehabilitation services, SNAP food stamps, and income-based housing. Her approach to care is patient-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy-oriented, and she has clinical training in cognitive behavioral therapy, suicide prevention, SBIRT, active listening, and motivational interviewing. Clients have described her as approachable, straightforward, non-judgmental, caring, and a good listener. She values unconditional positive regard and encourages the courage and resilience required to seek support and find a therapist who is a good fit.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to help people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for issues like addiction, motivation, and health-related decision making.

She also integrates a trauma-informed perspective, recognizing how past experiences and family dynamics shape current functioning and tailoring care to support safety and empowerment. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Elizabeth partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods fit best.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are challenging. Elizabeth aims to make evidence-based care accessible and adaptable to each person’s life.
