About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Eugea is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 38 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, grief, parenting concerns, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy with empathy and respect, acknowledging how difficult it can feel to reach out for help and prioritizing clients' strengths as part of the healing process. She blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered outlook to teach practical life skills.

Elizabeth often frames treatment as building a life-skills toolbox so clients gain concrete strategies to manage emotions, improve communication, and navigate change. Her work emphasizes collaboration, nonjudgmental support, and helping people move toward greater fulfillment.

Across her long career she has worked with a broad array of concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, family-of-origin problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and first responder issues. Elizabeth aims to create an encouraging, respectful environment where clients can explore challenges and develop tools tailored to their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centered stance to address presenting problems. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured techniques that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

She also brings a client-centered perspective that prioritizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while developing practical life skills. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life or location makes in-person visits difficult.
