Elizabeth Romska , LCSW

Elizabeth Romska is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who brings a steady blend of clinical training and long-standing school social work experience to her practice. She approaches each person as an individual with a distinct story, honoring the client as the expert in their own life while offering professional guidance to navigate difficult moments. Elizabeth emphasizes respect, trust, and empathy as the foundation for change and focuses on helping people reconnect with their values and strengths.

Her background includes years working in school settings with children and families from diverse backgrounds, as well as clinical work addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also holds a certification in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and serves as a crisis counselor on a CISM team for a public school district, supporting people through high-stress events.

Elizabeth uses a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, meeting people where they are and helping them identify tools they already have to make meaningful changes. She aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space that fosters hope, growth, and healing, and she tailors interventions to each person’s goals and needs while drawing on evidence-based practices when appropriate.

Outside of her professional life, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her husband and three daughters, exercising, playing games, and exploring the outdoors.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-driven steps forward. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's unique perspective. This approach helps build trust and encourages clients to explore their feelings at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for relationship, family, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work between the client and therapist. Elizabeth will work together with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy sessions with Elizabeth are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and fit therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional committed to supporting clients wherever they are.
