About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Windley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 35 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with grief, loss, life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses concerns related to addictions, intimacy, eating issues, and LGBT matters.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Conversations tend to include small steps clients can try between meetings and ways to notice progress over time.
Elizabeth pays attention to communication problems, body image, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also has experience supporting people facing hospice and end-of-life questions and those dealing with infidelity or non-monogamous relationship concerns. Her work includes helping people with intellectual disability-related issues when they arise.
People who come for guidance can expect straightforward talk about what is causing strain at home and practical options to change patterns. Sessions look at what a client is trying to accomplish and set manageable goals. The focus is on skills that help with everyday life rather than long theoretical explanations.
Her approach balances talking through feelings and trying behavioral changes. She helps adults who want to work on improving relationships, repairing communication, or coping with the practical realities of parenting, caring, or big life transitions.
How sessions work
Using CBT approaches for online sessions
Elizabeth commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, body image, and problems with motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. That might mean trying a few strategies and adjusting what feels most useful over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy family routines. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick progress update is helpful, or sessions without video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to work in remote appointments and help clients practice skills in everyday settings.
