About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Nolen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and low mood. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel more manageable and less overwhelming.
With 24 years of practice, Elizabeth draws on straightforward, evidence-informed methods to support practical change. She often focuses on building skills for day-to-day coping, improving self-esteem, and tackling fears or obsessive thoughts that get in the way of living well.
Background and approach
She also helps people navigate life transitions, workplace strain, and relationship communication challenges. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions are interactive rather than purely reflective, and she works to match strategies to a person’s values and pace.
Mindfulness techniques are used alongside practical problem-solving to reduce distress and improve focus. Elizabeth’s background as a social worker gives her broad experience across many settings in Louisiana. She combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors.
That mix helps people see tangible changes in how they cope. People who come to her often want clear, usable steps they can apply between sessions. She supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, life purpose questions, and issues like guilt or shame.
Her style aims to be respectful, realistic, and hopeful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s concerns and priorities, offering empathy and reflective feedback to help people feel heard and clearer about their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Online work often includes setting small experiments, practicing new skills between sessions, and using short exercises during calls or messages to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These exercises can be guided in real time over video or delivered as short audio or text prompts for practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are adapted as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or regular brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between visits.
