About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Marcum is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of hands-on experience helping people through difficult life changes. She works with adults on addictions, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem issues. Elizabeth focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly and start to untangle what feels overwhelming.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that keep problems alive and trying small, doable steps to shift those patterns.
Background and approach
Elizabeth pays attention to how past losses and attachment wounds affect current relationships and coping skills. Her background includes supporting people through addiction and recovery, codependency, divorce and separation, and grief related to hospice and end-of-life care. She also addresses chronic illness, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and the challenges of guilt, shame, and isolation.
Therapy with Elizabeth is collaborative. She helps clients prioritize what matters most and build skills for clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and renewed purpose. That approach applies whether the focus is rebuilding trust after betrayal or improving everyday confidence.
Sessions are offered in English and are held online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Elizabeth holds active LCSW licenses in Texas and California and practices with a focus on practical support and steady, realistic progress.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Elizabeth draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior and relationships. One common method helps people spot unhelpful patterns and replace them with small, manageable actions; this is useful for addiction challenges and rebuilding trust in relationships. Another approach looks at attachment and past losses to understand current relationship struggles and intimacy issues, helping clients make clearer choices about boundaries and connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, current situation, and comfort level. Together they try methods and adjust as needed rather than committing to one path from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video and phone sessions let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing access for check-ins and brief support. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into daily routines and to maintain momentum between sessions.
