About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Wilde is a licensed independent social worker practicing in Ohio who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience she works with clients addressing depression, grief, anger, addiction concerns, LGBT issues, relationship and family dynamics, career struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and other complex concerns. She also brings attention to areas such as substance use, first responder issues, guilt and shame, personality disorder presentations, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach emphasizes reducing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to support daily functioning and emotional regulation. She integrates several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and tailors conversation and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Elizabeth aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support while empowering clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Approach-driven online care with flexible access

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and daily stress. She also uses EMDR to address distress linked to traumatic memories, helping reduce the intensity of painful reminders and promoting adaptive processing of those experiences. These approaches are explained in clear, practical terms so clients understand how techniques connect to their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time and designing treatment plans that fit the client’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations within Ohio. These options can make it simpler to attend regular sessions, integrate therapeutic skills into daily life, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
