About Dale
Dale Elzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. His background includes Christian counseling and helping people cope with loss.
Dale focuses on practical conversation and steady guidance. Sessions are straightforward and centered on what matters most to the person in front of him. He aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and to weigh options for change without judgment.
In the room, he listens to the specific story and then helps identify small, usable steps forward. That might mean learning to manage anxiety symptoms, looking at patterns that feed addictive behavior, or naming what keeps grief unresolved. He balances short-term coping skills with attention to longer-term choices people want to make.
His practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern at hand. He has worked with a wide range of life challenges beyond the main areas listed, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image struggles, and first responder issues. Dale also supports people facing divorce, blended family concerns, or the fallout from abandonment.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Two common evidence-based approaches he draws on are cognitive-behavioral techniques and brief practical interventions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and repetitive negative thinking. Brief practical interventions concentrate on immediate coping skills and problem-solving steps to manage cravings, strong emotions, or intense grief.He treats the choice of approach as collaborative. Together the client and therapist consider what feels most useful for the current problem, the person's goals, and how much time they want to spend on skills versus deeper patterns. That conversation guides which techniques are emphasized in sessions.
Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. These practical benefits help people maintain regular contact with a licensed professional while working on issues such as anxiety, addiction management, relationship problems, and grief.
