Elizabeth Eugea, LCPC

Elizabeth Eugea is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 38 years of experience. She understands that reaching out for help can feel hard and uncertain. She aims to support and empower people as they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

Elizabeth uses straightforward, practical skills in sessions. She teaches life skills people can use right away and builds a toolbox of strategies for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, manageable steps toward that change. She values how each person learns and grows in their own way and adapts tools to fit individual needs.

Elizabeth has helped people with a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career issues. She also addresses specific areas like abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, and forgiveness.

Therapy sessions may include skill teaching, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing techniques, and DBT-informed strategies for emotion regulation. People can expect collaborative planning, clear suggestions, and practice tasks to use between appointments.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Elizabeth often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then teaches concrete steps to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and managing ADHD symptoms by breaking problems into small, manageable tasks.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic place where people can talk through concerns at their own pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions to relationship and life stressors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face-to-face when needed. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can provide shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions.
