Liz McElroy
I love listening to people and allowing the client to feel in control of their treatment. I look forward to offering up to date strategies and techniques to navigate through life challenges knowing that the client has full autonomy over the process. I am a fully licensed therapist specializing in stages of change. I have worked in addictions for over 20 years. I started working in Early HeadStart, all the way to the Criminal Justice system, meeting the therapeutic needs of a variety of clients. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a hairstylist for 20 years.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The Client will not be disappointed and will not waste their precious time. Client can expect to be heard! Client can be expected to be able to get an understanding if the modality is a good fit or not. Client will also receive strategies and techniques to reduce symptoms to guide them through their therapeutic journey prior to commitment to continue.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I continue to educate myself on the modalities, techniques, and strategies to assist client with utilizing skills to meet their objectives towards their treatment plan goals. As a provider I take the holistic approach by reflective listening to the client and what they desire for their life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best able to assist clients with reflecting and navigating to the stages of change. If client is practicing techniques and strategies between sessions, there will usually be a positive reduction of symptoms causing unwanted consequences in client's life. I am best positioned to serve clients that are self-aware that something is a barrier to reaching the life they want to have. I am able to help clients that are open taking charge of their recovery with the assistance of the therapeutic process.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing this method of treatment as well as Trauma Focused CBT in at least 4 creative techniques to unearth client’s automatic thoughts, even if they’re struggling to identify the thoughts themselves. Making CBT most effective and efficient to accommodate clients time and needs. The hidden root of client’s anger, and less than 6 simple steps to help them cope effectively. Utilizing an impactful reframing to support client with life's challenges.
Motivational Interviewing
This is an effective modality of treatment to foster support for the stages of change. This method is effective because it recognizes the differences between knowing to do better and knowing how to better and providing grace between.
