About Elizabeth

Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She blends a gentle, accepting approach with practical techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship and parenting challenges.

She draws on 13 years of clinical experience plus many years in pastoral ministry. That background shaped a supportive, nonjudgmental way of working with people across life stages. Her practice often focuses on trauma and co-occurring concerns such as substance use and mood disorders.

Background and approach

Elizabeth uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and understood before moving to skills-based work. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. When trauma is an issue, she incorporates EMDR as one of several trauma-focused tools to address painful memories and reactions.

Her experience includes work with people facing chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life situations, caregiving stress, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism. She also supports those dealing with identity and LGBT-related matters, gender dysphoria, and forgiveness or grief work. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.

Elizabeth helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress. Her style blends compassion with concrete steps so clients can regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic.

Online support

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and creating a supportive space to talk. It helps people who need to feel heard and want to explore values, identity, or relationship stresses.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and coping with life changes because it gives step-by-step ways to respond differently.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used as a trauma-focused approach to work with upsetting memories and their emotional impact. In online sessions it can be combined with other methods to reduce distress and build better day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about a person's goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or caregiving demands.
