Elizabeth Wilde, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Wilde is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem using clear, practical steps. She also works with concerns like depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and career-related stress.

Her style is respectful and compassionate, aimed at guiding clients toward changes they want to make. In sessions Elizabeth reduces overwhelming problems into small, manageable tasks. She uses tools that help shift negative thinking and build skills for coping.

Background and approach

She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, which can help people process traumatic memories and feel less stuck. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become intense.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clients set realistic goals and take practical steps toward them. Elizabeth tailors her conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She treats people with sensitivity and aims to create a space where honest concerns can be talked about.

The work is collaborative, paced to the person, and focused on achievable change. She brings six years of professional experience to her practice in Ohio and intends to support clients as they move toward clearer thinking and steadier coping. The approach is straightforward and aimed at usable, day-to-day improvements.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and staying grounded during crisis moments, which work well over phone or video. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method she is trained in that helps process painful memories; parts of EMDR can be adapted for remote work when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try techniques, notice what fits, and adjust the plan so it matches your pace and needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues, phone sessions remove camera needs, and live chat or text-based messaging work for quick check-ins or when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments while still using evidence-based methods.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
