About K.
K. Elizabeth Garzarelli is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She brings 33 years of experience and helps clients rebuild confidence, manage grief, and navigate career or relationship challenges.
Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making progress one step at a time. Clients can expect straightforward support that emphasizes personal values and everyday coping skills. She uses conversational sessions to identify small, doable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Sessions also look at deeper meaning and purpose when that fits the client’s goals. Elizabeth draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and to create a collaborative space. She also incorporates existential ideas to help people wrestle with choices, meaning, and identity.
When trauma is present, she may use EMDR techniques or hypnotherapy approaches as part of the work. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also supports people facing health-related challenges including cancer, hospice, and end-of-life matters.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided remotely to residents in North Carolina. Clients choose therapy through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. New clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Elizabeth holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and has worked in clinical settings for over three decades.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the individual. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people name needs and decide on next steps, which can be useful for stress, confidence, and parenting concerns.Existential therapy invites people to examine meaning, choice, and purpose. This approach can help when major life changes or questions about direction cause distress or confusion. It supports talking through values and practical decisions rather than prescribing answers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That may mean blending client-centered conversation with existential questions, or adding EMDR or hypnotherapy techniques when trauma or deeper processing is present.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access support from where you are.
