Elizabeth Meyer

Elizabeth Meyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on trauma-informed care. She uses trauma-focused therapy and other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the effects of trauma. Liz aims to create a steady, compassionate space where people can talk about hard things and begin to feel more grounded.

She draws on five years of clinical experience working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and co-occurring concerns. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of North Dakota and a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, along with minors in American Indian Studies and Chemical Dependency. She holds the LCSW credential in North Dakota.

In sessions she follows a person-centered, strength-based approach. That means she listens first, then helps people build on what already works for them. She also integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns and emotion regulation.

Liz has training in EMDR and other trauma-informed methods to support people who have experienced trauma or abuse and who are coping with post-traumatic stress symptoms. She also addresses relationship-related themes such as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Her work often focuses on practical strategies for managing day-to-day symptoms, improving self-esteem, and coping with life changes like separation or loss. She encourages people to take small, manageable steps and to set goals that fit their life circumstances.

How trauma-informed and skills-based approaches work online

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process the impact of upsetting events and reduce trauma-related symptoms. It often uses careful pacing, memory processing, and grounding strategies so people can face painful memories without becoming overwhelmed.

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps them identify strengths and goals to guide treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend techniques that match the person’s needs. This decision is collaborative, and methods can be adjusted over time so they fit what is helpful for the individual.
