About Dale
Dale Elzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Georgia with 29 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also helps people dealing with loss and offers Christian counseling when requested.
He focuses on practical conversations that make space for difficult feelings. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying small changes that feel manageable. He encourages honest discussion about what’s working and what isn’t in day-to-day life.
With decades of experience, he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like substance use, repeated relationship conflict, and the emotional aftermath of trauma. He pays attention to how life events - such as illness, caregiving, or major separation - affect mood and choices.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach that combines problem solving with emotional processing. He will help clarify immediate priorities, such as reducing anxiety or stabilizing routines, and follow those with work on deeper patterns when the client is ready.

Approaches to practical change and emotional work
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage symptoms and change patterns. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work - identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and some addictive behaviors.Another approach involves trauma-informed processing that helps people name what happened and the ways it still affects thinking and relationships. That work typically moves at the client’s pace and aims to lessen repeated distress from past events.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps in practical terms. Clients take part in choosing the methods used and in setting the pace.
The biography does not list supported session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to appear on camera when that is not necessary. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to maintain steady progress while matching therapy to everyday routines.
