About Elizabeth
Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana with 13 years of clinical experience and earlier pastoral work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT issues. She also addresses parenting, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Before social work school she spent a decade in pastoral ministry, and that background shapes how she meets people. She has worked with people across the lifespan, from youth settings to hospice and end-of-life care. That range informs her work with chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She has many years of experience with trauma and co-occurring disorders, including substance use linked to PTSD. In sessions she helps people reduce overwhelming symptoms and regain a sense of control.
Elizabeth has experience with Multi-Systemic Therapy and recent work in group home settings for teenagers, where engaging families was part of the work. She also assists people dealing with codependency, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, and family-of-origin problems. Her practice includes aging and geriatric concerns and hospice counseling.
She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It means sessions start with what the person brings and the therapist listens to understand goals and daily challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and bodily reactions to those memories to reduce their intensity.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, symptoms, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That plan can change as work progresses and as practical results guide next steps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or make sessions possible when mobility or caregiving duties make traveling difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, client-centered conversations, and EMDR-informed trauma work to online settings when the format fits the person’s situation.
