About Elizabeth
Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of clinical experience and a long background in pastoral care. She brings a calm, accepting presence to sessions and prioritizes respect for diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
Elizabeth practices Systemic therapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people manage distress and find clearer paths forward. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and addictions.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her work extends to aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and disability, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. Elizabeth uses practical tools in session.
She mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness exercises to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. When trauma is central, she applies EMDR as one of the approaches to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Her pastoral background informs a gentle, accepting stance.
She has experience supporting people across the lifespan, from youth work to hospice-related conversations. That range means she often helps people shift patterns in relationships and daily routines so they feel more capable and less overwhelmed. Clients can expect collaborative work that centers their goals.
Elizabeth aims to help people regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic, offering concrete strategies and steady support as they make changes.

Online support
How therapy approaches are used online
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and routines and how those patterns affect daily life. Online sessions allow the therapist and client to map interactions and problem areas in real time and then try small changes between meetings to see what helps.Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering an accepting space for people to talk through what matters most. In remote work this often means the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them name goals and next steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; it works well over video or phone when homework and short skill-practice are part of treatment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which approaches to emphasize as work progresses.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try brief coping tools, and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and across distance.
