About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Wilde is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Elizabeth works with people facing addiction, grief, anger, and major life changes.
She encourages practical steps that feel manageable and meaningful to each person. Elizabeth uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is most troubling. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to offer skills for managing thoughts and intense emotions.
Background and approach
She also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the situation. Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to tailor sessions to each person's goals, whether that means short-term coping strategies or a deeper look at repeated patterns.
Sessions include concrete exercises as well as space to talk things through. Elizabeth brings six years of experience in clinical settings. That experience includes work with people affected by trauma, substance issues, and work-related stress such as compassion fatigue.
She also supports people navigating identity and relationship concerns. People who come to her can expect a collaborative plan that evolves over time. The focus is on practical changes you can try between meetings, and on building skills to handle anger, anxiety, or setbacks.
Elizabeth seeks to empower clients to move toward a more manageable and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and habits that keep problems going. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. It often helps when emotions feel intense or reactions escalate quickly. EMDR uses structured processing to help people move through traumatic memories and reduce their emotional hold; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant to what the person wants to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker connection. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
