About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Romska is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. Elizabeth uses a narrative-informed, client-centered style that values each person's story and strengths.
She aims to build trust quickly and treats each person as the expert on their life. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people name the patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She encourages small, doable steps toward goals and draws on approaches that fit a person’s needs and values. Elizabeth combines elements of Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and DBT skills when useful. That mix helps people work on thoughts, behaviors, and the personal stories that shape daily life.
She also uses motivational interviewing ideas to support change when people feel stuck. Her background includes many years as a school social worker and crisis counselor, which informs how she supports people facing family stress, grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain. She has experience with addiction, eating issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
Sessions may cover practical coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to rebuild routine after big life changes. Elizabeth aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can begin to heal and move toward what they value.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused methods work online
Elizabeth integrates Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered care to help people online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they better reflect strengths and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match what matters most. Client-centered work focuses on listening, respect, and building a collaborative relationship so the person feels understood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then try methods that fit. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and brief exercises tailored to what the person needs, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping therapy focused on practical change.
