Elizabeth Meyer, LCSW

Elizabeth Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in North Dakota who brings a practical, trauma-informed approach to helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. With five years of clinical experience, she works with individuals facing mood disorders, co-occurring conditions, relationship and attachment concerns, and life transitions, offering support for issues such as abandonment, codependency, isolation, and low self-esteem.

She earned both a Bachelor of Science in Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the University of North Dakota, and also completed minors in American Indian Studies and Chemical Dependency. In addition to her clinical social work license, she holds a Licensed Addiction Counselor credential, which supports her work with substance-related concerns. Her training includes cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR for trauma processing, and brief cognitive-behavioral work focused on suicide prevention, and she has registered to attend Trauma-Focused CBT training in April 2024.

Meyer’s therapeutic stance is person-centered and strength-based, emphasizing collaboration and practical skills while remaining attentive to the impact of trauma. She encourages those who are ready to seek support to take the next step and connect to discuss goals, explore fit, and arrange an initial appointment to begin tailored work toward recovery and resilience.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person's lead, highlights strengths, and helps clarify goals - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and building self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and structured strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that assists in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can be particularly useful for people experiencing post-traumatic stress or persistent trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Meyer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy plans can adapt over time, blending techniques from different approaches to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and multiple ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to engage in care from home, during work breaks, or while managing a busy schedule. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured tools, skills practice, and ongoing support, making consistent therapy more accessible for those balancing other responsibilities.
