About Dale
Dale Elzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Georgia with 29 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also works on related concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and first responder issues.
Dale uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what is happening in their lives. He listens to what feels most urgent and then helps set practical steps forward. Sessions aim to make everyday problems easier to manage so people can handle work, family, health, and money pressures more clearly.
His background includes long experience with coping after loss and with people handling substance use concerns. He also brings experience supporting those facing medical challenges like cancer, chronic illness, or aging-related issues. Communication problems, blended family tensions, and divorce or separation are other areas he addresses.
Dale describes his work as collaborative. He checks in about goals and adjusts plans as those goals change. He looks at behaviors, patterns, and practical strategies rather than labeling people or promising a fixed outcome.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients can be seen. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and any details specific to their location and subscription plan.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches Dale references are problem-focused behavioral strategies and grief-focused support. Problem-focused behavioral work looks at daily habits and routines, then helps build small changes to reduce anxiety or manage cravings. Grief-focused support focuses on practical ways to remember, adjust routines, and cope with loss while handling day-to-day responsibilities.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most urgent, suggest options, and try different techniques until something helps. Goals and methods are reviewed regularly so plans stay relevant to changing needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let sessions proceed without travel when that helps someone keep regular appointments. Discuss format preferences and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit into everyday life.
