Elizabeth Everly , LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in South Carolina with four years of professional experience. She holds the LISW-CP credential, which indicates authorization to practice independently as a clinical social worker and provide clinical services across diverse settings.

Her work spans common concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflict, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. Early in her career she supported teenagers involved in the criminal justice system and led psycho-education groups for mandated clients addressing addiction, gaining practical experience with court-involved and recovery-focused populations.

She later shifted focus to supporting caregivers and people receiving hospice and home health care, helping clients prioritize needs, pursue resources, plan for long-term care, manage chronic illness, and address dysfunctional family dynamics. More recently she has provided services to Veterans and their families in a health care setting, building familiarity with issues unique to military-connected clients.

Her approach to care is patient-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy oriented. She has training and clinical experience in cognitive behavioral therapy, suicide prevention, SBIRT, active listening, and motivational interviewing, and she acknowledges how trauma and family systems influence wellbeing across the lifespan.

She is experienced with programs and services such as Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance, in-patient rehabilitation, nursing home and assisted living care, in-home and hospice services, Veterans benefits and health administration, addiction rehabilitation, SNAP food stamps, and income-based housing. Clients have described her as approachable, straightforward, non-judgmental, caring, and a good listener. She encourages conversations about what therapy is like, what to look for, and how needs and goals can guide the search for the right therapeutic fit.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care Options

Elizabeth draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and everyday stressors. This approach is useful for addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people explore ambivalence and strengthen readiness for change, an approach that supports work on addictions, behavior change, and engagement in long-term care planning. In addition, her practice is trauma-informed, which means she considers past and present stressors and family dynamics when tailoring interventions and supports.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains focused and relevant to each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people with caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and find a rhythm of sessions that fits day-to-day life.
