Elizabeth Everly , LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a licensed independent clinical social worker in South Carolina with four years of professional experience supporting people across the lifespan. As a LISW-CP, she is licensed to practice independently as a clinical social worker in the state and has focused her practice on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and motivation, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, and coping with life changes. She also attends to issues related to ADHD and provides affirming care for LGBT clients.

Her clinical background includes work with teenagers involved in the criminal justice system and leading psychoeducational groups for mandated clients navigating addiction recovery. She later shifted to hospice and home health settings, where she worked with caregivers and individuals receiving care to prioritize needs, identify resources, plan for long-term care, manage chronic illness, and address complex family dynamics. More recently, she has provided services to Veterans and their families in a healthcare setting.

Those experiences have reinforced her awareness of systemic barriers affecting people of different ages, genders, religions, races, and sexual orientations, and have deepened her commitment to advocacy. Her approach to care is patient-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy-oriented. She has training in cognitive behavioral therapy, suicide prevention, SBIRT, active listening, and motivational interviewing. Her clients have described her as approachable, straightforward, non-judgmental, caring, and a good listener. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Virtual Care

Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change - this collaborative style helps people explore their goals and strengthen their own motivation to move forward. Her practice is grounded in trauma-informed principles, which means she attends to the impact of trauma and family dynamics when planning interventions and supports.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She prioritizes a patient-centered, strength-based style so clients and the therapist can adjust strategies over time together.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing support between sessions, and make it possible for licensed professionals to deliver consistent care in ways that match each client's routine and comfort.
