About Elizabeth

Elizabeth DeRouin is a North Carolina licensed psychologist (NC Psychologist 5417) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and are informed by evidence-based psychological techniques combined with a Christian perspective when clients prefer that approach.

She helps people who are navigating major life changes and emotional strain. That includes coping after trauma, managing grief, handling family conflict, and addressing the effects of chronic illness or caregiver stress. She also supports people who struggle with communication, commitment, and codependency patterns that leave them overly focused on others at their own expense.

Her practice blends standard therapeutic methods with spiritual resources when a client requests that integration. In practical terms this means using therapy tools alongside conversation about faith, spiritual discipline, and how belief can be used to find strength during hardship. Sessions look at concrete skills such as managing overwhelm, building clearer boundaries, and reducing burnout.

Elizabeth has particular experience supporting veterans, caregivers, and adults facing career or midlife transitions. She works with people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and problems tied to blended families or divorce and separation. The focus is on helping clients regain a sense of agency and learn habits that reduce retraumatization and compassion fatigue.

How sessions work

Evidence-based methods and online sessions

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a faith-informed perspective when clients request it. Cognitive and behavioral approaches focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase anxiety, codependency, or burnout, and teach practical skills to change those patterns. Trauma-focused techniques help people process distressing experiences and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and the challenges they bring. That means adjusting pace, emphasizing skill-building, or bringing spiritual practices into the work if that fits the client.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt methods for remote work so the focus stays on practical problem solving, boundary setting, and reducing compassion fatigue without promising a specific session format.
