About Elizabeth
Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice. She blends practical therapy with a compassionate, accepting stance.
She offers clear, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and ADHD. She approaches therapy with a client-centered frame that values each person's story. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot patterns and build new habits.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one tool she uses when trauma memories keep getting in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Elizabeth has a long background in pastoral work alongside clinical care. That experience shaped a gentle, nonjudgmental way of listening. She has worked with people at many life stages, including those coping with chronic illness and end-of-life concerns.
Much of her clinical work has focused on trauma and co-occurring substance use concerns. She has experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by chaos regain a sense of control. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
Sessions combine practical steps and reflective conversation. Elizabeth helps people set small goals, try new coping strategies, and notice what changes. She works in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for people in Montana and internationally.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and build a trusting working relationship. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping goals together to match daily life and values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel like the best fit for their needs and goals. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth sessions where seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coping suggestions between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility for people in Montana and international clients to fit therapy into busy lives.
