About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Romska is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, NC LCSW, with 15 years of professional experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, grief, and anger among other issues.

She approaches therapy in a client-centered way and draws on trauma-informed methods. Sessions focus on building trust and respect first. The aim is to help people notice the skills they already have and use them differently in hard moments.

Elizabeth uses straightforward strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and client-centered work. That means she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, practice skills for emotion regulation, and clarify what matters most to them. She also brings experience with addiction, body image, ADHD, and family of origin issues.

Her background includes work as a school social worker and training in critical incident stress management. That experience informs practical approaches for people dealing with caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and crisis-related stress. It also shapes how she helps people handle anger that shows up in relationships and at work.

In sessions she talks through concrete choices, practice exercises, and small behavior shifts. People can expect a collaborative style that focuses on what they want to change. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Together they check whether a method feels helpful and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed approach.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, choosing audio when bandwidth is low, or scheduling sessions without travel time. Licensed professionals often combine skills practice, worksheets, and talking through recent situations to support progress, and this therapist uses the same kinds of practical tools when working remotely.
