Elizabeth Everly, LISW-CP

Elizabeth Everly is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in South Carolina (LISW-CP) with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has worked with clients facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, motivation concerns, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. Her early work included supporting teenagers involved with the criminal justice system and leading psychoeducation groups for mandated clients managing addiction.

She later focused on supporting caregivers and individuals receiving hospice and home health care, helping them prioritize needs, obtain resources, engage in long-term care planning, cope with chronic illness, and address dysfunctional family dynamics. More recently she has provided care to Veterans and their families in a health care context, bringing that experience to a variety of clinical settings.

Elizabeth approaches care with patient-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, and advocacy-oriented principles. She is familiar with programs and services such as Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance, in-patient rehabilitation, nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, in-home care, home health, hospice care, Veterans benefits administration and Veterans health administration, addiction rehabilitation services, SNAP food stamps, and income-based housing. Therapeutic methods she has training in include cognitive behavioral therapy, suicide prevention, SBIRT, active listening, and motivational interviewing, while recognizing the ongoing impact of trauma and family systems across the lifespan.

Clients have described her as approachable, straightforward, non-judgmental, caring, and a good listener. She values the courage it takes to seek support and emphasizes unconditional positive regard as a foundation for healthy therapeutic relationships. If someone is ready to take a first step, explore what therapy is like, or discuss what to look for in a counselor, she is available to talk and help determine next steps.
