Elizabeth Everly , LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, self-esteem and motivation challenges, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting difficulties, anger, and ADHD, and she provides focused care for LGBT clients.

Early in her career she supported teenagers involved in the criminal justice system and facilitated psychoeducation groups for court-mandated individuals managing substance use. She later shifted to assisting caregivers and people receiving hospice and home health care, helping them prioritize needs, pursue resources, engage in long-term care planning, cope with chronic illness, and address dysfunctional family systems. Most recently, she has worked with veterans and their families in a health care setting.

Her experience with diverse populations has reinforced an understanding of systemic barriers that affect people of different ages, genders, religions, races, and sexual orientations. She is familiar with programs and services such as Medicare, Medicaid, veteran benefits and health administration, in-patient rehabilitation, nursing home and assisted living care, in-home care and hospice, addiction rehabilitation, SNAP food assistance, and income-based housing. Her clinical approach is patient-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy-oriented, and she has 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 emphasizes unconditional positive regard as a foundation for supportive work and supports people in taking steps toward help and growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Support

Elizabeth Everly draws on established, evidence-based techniques that translate well to online formats. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that helps individuals explore and strengthen their own motivation for change, particularly helpful for substance use and readiness to make life adjustments. A trauma-informed approach shapes how she designs care by acknowledging the effects of trauma and emphasizing trust, respect, and empowerment throughout treatment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with each person to select and adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to what will be most effective and comfortable for the individual.

Online therapy in her practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and people with mobility or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support, practice coping skills between sessions, and choose the communication style that best fits an individual’s daily life.
