About Elizabeth

Elizabeth DeRouin is a licensed psychologist in North Carolina who blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a Christian perspective. She supports adults as they navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and family challenges. Elizabeth centers faith and clinical practice together to help people regain balance and hope.

She often works with individuals facing chronic health issues, caregivers under strain, and people managing the fallout of relationship changes like divorce or separation. Veterans and those coping with the long-term effects of trauma are also among the populations she describes experience working with. Her approach emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions.

Elizabeth sees spiritual discipline as part of healing and helps clients recognize how faith can bolster resilience. Sessions combine goal-focused techniques with conversations about personal beliefs and meaning. She frames this work around restoring emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing instead of only treating symptoms.

In sessions she addresses problems such as codependency, communication difficulties, attachment concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability to manage stress and rebuild routines. The work includes practical coping strategies and attention to how relationships and roles affect daily life.

Elizabeth has eight years of clinical experience and holds licensure as a North Carolina Psychologist and a Virginia Psychologist. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How faith and evidence-based care translate to online therapy

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques paired with a faith-informed lens to help clients manage anxiety, grief, and the effects of trauma. One common approach she uses focuses on practical coping skills that teach clear steps for managing stress and emotional triggers; this helps when anxiety or overwhelm interfere with daily routines. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its aftereffects through guided conversations and gradual exposure to painful memories, which can reduce the power those memories hold over day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust techniques over time so the work fits the client's life and values.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for sessions during workday breaks or from another convenient location. It can also let people keep momentum in treatment when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can help you choose which format best matches your needs and goals.
