About Elizabeth

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 35 years of experience, Elizabeth Windley helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She works with concerns that include addictions, eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related problems. Sessions also address LGBT topics, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She talks through practical steps clients can take between sessions. The work is straightforward and focused on what each person identifies as important.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Tennessee and decades of direct client care. That experience informs how she balances problem-solving with checking in about how a person is coping emotionally. She pays attention to life-stage transitions and end-of-life or hospice concerns when those issues come up.

Sessions are structured around a person’s goals and daily realities. Elizabeth helps set simple, measurable steps and reviews progress over time. She encourages people to bring concrete examples from their lives so therapy stays relevant.

People who want practical tools for mood, anxiety, grief, relationship or identity concerns may find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, follow the site steps to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT is used in online work and what to expect

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online to help people spot and test thoughts that feed anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying a problematic thought, trying a different action, and reviewing what changed - which works well for mood, anxiety, and many coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt CBT techniques to match what the client needs. That collaborative process helps decide what tools to prioritize and how fast to move through them.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio for simpler setup or lower bandwidth. Discussing these practical details ahead of the first appointment lets sessions fit everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
