About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jones is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people heal from addiction and trauma. She goes by Ellie and brings a direct, strengths-based approach to sessions. Her style aims to help people notice their own resources and build on them one step at a time.
Ellie holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and Criminal Justice and is an LCSW licensed in Kentucky and Tennessee. She has nine years of experience working in residential programs, group therapy, family settings, and one-on-one therapy. That background shapes how she supports people through practical changes and emotional work.
In sessions she commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, and client-centered methods. That means conversations focus on current patterns, practical skills, and the person’s own goals. She also uses acceptance and commitment and attachment-informed ideas when they fit the situation.
She works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, codependency, and parenting strain. She pays attention to how family history, control issues, abandonment, and attachment patterns affect daily life.
Ellie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress in everyday life. People who want straightforward, compassionate support for recovery and relationship change may find her approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. This is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and can be useful for intimacy, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they select techniques and track what helps most, adjusting over time as needs change.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to use video or audio in ways that match their comfort - for example, choosing audio if bandwidth is limited or a shorter phone-style check-in when time is tight. Licensed professionals can guide how sessions and tools match practical life demands while focusing on recovery, relationships, and everyday skills.
