Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing guides conversations about change, and trauma-focused work is available when past events are affecting day-to-day living. In sessions she keeps language simple and actionable. Conversations typically identify unhelpful thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice grounding or breathing exercises as needed.
Plans are shaped around each person’s goals and what feels doable between meetings. Elizabeth has three years of experience listed in her profile and holds LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her background includes supporting adults and people caring for older relatives, as well as those facing end-of-life or hospice concerns.
She aims to make the first steps less daunting. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. From there she works with each person to set clear, short-term goals and regular check-ins to track progress.
How her approaches translate to online care
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short, practical exercises that help bring attention back to the present moment and reduce rumination.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make life changes but feel unsure where to start. This approach uses guided conversation to clarify values and build small, achievable steps toward goals. Together the therapist and client decide which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
