I am a clinical social worker and am licensed in Maryland and Washington, D.C. I have over 20 years of professional work experience providing counseling to adults and families. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Virginia and a Master of Social Work degree from Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
I use a collaborative, compassionate, solution-focused, and strength-based approach to counseling in an effort to foster healing and resilience. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, adoption issues (for adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoptees), motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and depression. I also have additional experience facilitating workshops, trainings and support groups on a variety of subjects.
I believe in starting counseling where you, the client, are. You have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Counseling is a valuable resource when facing challenges. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and help you navigate your questions, worries, and concerns so you can meet your goals.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Eliza Niemann. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've been seeing Eliza for under a year, and she has been an incredible source of support. She is kind, patient, and a truly attentive listener. She helped me understand the "iceberg effects" of anxiety and navigating the challenges of being the primary care giver for a patent with early-onset dementia.
Though her guidance , I've learned to set healthier boundaries, stay active, meditate more, and pay attention to what genuinely fills my cup. With a demanding job and alot on my plate, her insight has helped me slow down, care for myself, and find more joy in my everyday life.
I'm deeply grateful for her compassion and wisdom, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful grounded therapist.

Eliza is the best definition of a therapist. She listens to me, understands me, and personalizes my experience. As a young female adult, I need to be able to have someone who can pivot my thinking when I am constantly consumed by my social setting. Eliza has been my therapist for over two years and I cannot imagine having anyone else be able to guide me through life. She has been the greatest blessing!
