About Elizabeth

Rev. Elizabeth Hector brings a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to her clinical work, combining 13 years of social work practice with a long background in pastoral ministry.

Background and approach

She emphasizes acceptance and gentleness while helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Her LCSW credential is noted as MT LCSW BBH-LCSW-LIC-4525, and she integrates evidence-based methods like CBT and EMDR alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.

Her experience spans diverse settings, from youth work to supporting people facing chronic illness and end-of-life concerns, and includes work with trauma, co-occurring disorders, and mood conditions such as bipolar. She has also provided focused care in group home settings for adolescents and engaged families in systemic interventions.

In practice she aims to help clients regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic, drawing on years of pastoral care to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic presence. Elizabeth accepts clients in Montana and international clients in English, offering video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions under a subscription model that varies with location and therapist availability.

Prospective clients begin by selecting Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Client-centered therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of the work, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and the client’s own goals; this approach is helpful for people coping with stress, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation, offering concrete tools and exercises that adapt well to remote sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and associated emotions through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall; it is used for trauma, PTSD, and other experiences tied to overwhelming stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so care remains responsive and practical. Clients and therapist make these decisions together based on how symptoms respond and what feels most effective.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care while traveling or relocating, and choose the communication method that feels most comfortable for different stages of treatment.
