About Elizabeth

Rev. Elizabeth Hector is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of clinical experience and a long background in pastoral care. She brings a calm, accepting presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents can use to reduce stress and restore balance at home.

She blends client-centered work with evidence-based tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance-related issues. Practical strategies are paired with listening so parents can feel heard while they try new approaches.

Background and approach

Rev. Hector also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and major life changes. Her experience includes pastoral ministry and many years working across age ranges and settings.

That history informs how she talks about sensitive topics like gender, sexuality, and end-of-life concerns. She has helped people cope with family conflict, communication problems, caregiving strain, and the stresses of parenting. Rev.

Hector uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, short practical exercises, and steady tracking of progress. She often combines talking with specific exercises clients can practice between sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance and a warm, nonjudgmental stance. Her practice is based in Montana, and she offers ways to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Rev.

Elizabeth Hector aims to help parents build routines and skills that ease daily life and strengthen relationships.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on giving people space to tell their story and feel understood. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead, reflect concerns back, and help parents prioritize what matters most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote work this can include short behavioral experiments, thought records, and step-by-step plans parents can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and support, skills-based CBT work, trauma processing, or a mix of methods depending on the situation.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into family life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick questions, brief coaching, and ongoing progress tracking between appointments. These options let parents work on stress, parenting strategies, trauma symptoms, and mood management without long travel time.
