About Elizabeth

K. Elizabeth Garzarelli is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings 33 years of experience to sessions.

Her tone is steady and practical, aiming to help clients find clearer direction and steadier footing. Elizabeth uses straightforward, person-focused methods that let clients talk about what matters most. She listens for strengths and then helps people build practical coping steps.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on everyday concerns like work strain, self-esteem, and decisions about life purpose. Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice issues, and the emotional fallout from disasters.

That range means she often helps people handle sudden change as well as long-term pressures. Therapeutic tools in her practice include client-centered and existential approaches, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. These are used to help people process difficult memories, clarify values, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Elizabeth adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a fixed script. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on availability.

Online support

Approaches for online healing and growth

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name their needs, set goals, and build practical steps to change. This approach often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In practice it involves guided attention and structured processing to address trauma-related reactions and painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level. Sessions may combine approaches over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client interact face to face, phone sessions can work when video is impractical, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while maintaining a steady course of support.
