About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Giele is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. She offers calm, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, career questions, and ADHD-related struggles. Her approach is warm and person-centered, with a focus on listening first and making a clear plan together.

She begins by asking what matters most to each person and what they want to change. Sessions blend mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and narrative work to help people notice patterns and choose actions that match their values.

Background and approach

Therapy also includes supportive coaching for life changes and career transitions. Elizabeth has long experience helping people cope with serious illness, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also works with those facing relationship strain, sexual identity questions, and long-term feelings like depression or low self-esteem.

Practical skills for sleep, anger, and daily coping are part of the work. Her style is steady and respectful. She listens without judgment and offers tools you can use between sessions.

The aim is to build resilience, clearer direction, and more self-compassion. Elizabeth practices from New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. She draws on decades of clinical work to tailor support to each person’s situation.

If someone wants a mix of coaching and therapy, she helps blend those focuses into a single plan.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, motivation, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and the person’s own goals; it creates space to talk through hurt, identity questions, and relationship issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can support quick coping ideas and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people access consistent support from New Mexico without needing to travel.
