About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Rezner is an Alabama-licensed clinical social worker (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW) with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses communication problems, isolation, social anxiety, forgiveness, self-love, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Rezner favours evidence-based techniques rather than a single fixed method. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She listens for the thoughts and patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them test new ways of relating and responding. Conversations include handling uncomfortable emotions and building steadier emotional habits.
She describes her practice as progressive and non-religious, and she notes experience supporting LGBTQ+ people. That context can matter when faith or identity are connected to feelings of guilt or shame. The work looks at how those influences shape choices and self-judgment.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about what is happening now and what might change with small shifts in thinking and behavior. Sessions include skills for communication and managing social anxiety. There is attention to repairing how people think about themselves after mistakes or painful relationships.
Elizabeth uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose an online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. Cognitive-behavioral style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, realistic ways of thinking. That can help with persistent guilt by examining beliefs and trying small behavior changes.Another common evidence-based approach emphasizes emotion processing and learning to tolerate strong feelings. This work involves naming emotions, tracking how the body responds, and practicing skills to ride out intense shame without acting on it. It can be useful for trauma-related guilt and long-held self-blame.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and current life demands. Decisions about methods happen together and can shift as progress is made.
