About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Loring is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and mood concerns. She meets people where they are and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions are focused on small, usable steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Elizabeth aims to make therapy feel manageable, not overwhelming, so progress can happen between appointments. Her work includes support for people dealing with substance use and recovery, survivors of sexual assault and abuse, and those living with post-traumatic stress. She also helps people navigate issues related to LGBT identity, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and non-monogamous relationships.
Family of origin problems, guilt, shame, and first responder stress are part of her practice too. Elizabeth values clear goals and practical coping tools. She helps people build routines and skills they can use right away.
The approach is collaborative - the client and therapist decide what will help most. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and habits people can practice between sessions. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and mood issues, such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and step-by-step routines to reduce overwhelm. These tools are useful for everyday stress and for managing mood swings.Another approach focuses on recovery from addiction and trauma by breaking problems into manageable parts. This method looks at triggers, builds safety plans, and develops relapse-prevention strategies. It also supports people working through the impact of sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, or first responder stress by pacing the work and prioritizing stability.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lighter way to check in, live chat works for shorter exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose the style that feels most comfortable.
