About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gentilcore is a calm, grounded therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She brings 14 years of experience and holds an MD and a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical credential in Maryland. Her style is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel understood rather than judged.
She meets people where they are and listens carefully to what matters most. Sessions are practical and straightforward.
How Elizabeth works
Together she and a client identify what’s holding them back and create small, achievable steps forward. Her work also addresses more specific concerns like communication problems, control issues, caregiver stress, infertility-related strain, and isolation. She supports people navigating relationship difficulties, divorce and separation, and challenges tied to family of origin and immigration.
Elizabeth also offers help around guilt, shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, and issues related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on years of clinical practice to shape each person’s plan. She adjusts her approach to the person in front of her rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.
Progress is tracked through practical tasks and conversations that fit everyday life. She provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Elizabeth works in Maryland and conducts therapy in English.
Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors in daily life to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and slowly build more effective habits.Another approach centers on improving communication and relationships by teaching concrete skills for expressing needs and managing conflict. These skills are useful for handling relationship stress, divorce or separation challenges, and family-of-origin issues. A third strand of work focuses on managing strong emotions and impulsive actions through step-by-step coping tools and grounding practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what is working and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a written conversation fits someone’s schedule. These options offer flexibility and can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
