About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Racicot uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Arizona with twenty years of experience. Her style is steady and practical, focused on small, useful steps that fit into everyday life.
She aims to help people strengthen self-esteem and find clearer direction after loss or major transitions. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and trying new ways to handle difficult feelings.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Elizabeth has particular experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family concerns. She also addresses mood-related issues such as postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, and other mood disorders.
Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and helping people who feel isolated or stuck. She keeps the practical side of therapy in view, helping people rebuild routines, improve communication, and manage guilt or shame. She supports parents who need help with family stress and communication problems.
Her approach is informed by long-term clinical work and shaped by a focus on real-life outcomes. Outside of clinical work, Elizabeth is a wife, mother, family member, and maker who enjoys time with her pets, church activities, Girl Scouts, camping, holiday traditions, baking, and crafts.
She brings that same care and steadiness into sessions and into the process of working toward emotional well-being.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Elizabeth practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching practical skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and depression, and it is useful for mood disorders, SAD, and postpartum depression. Another approach focuses on strengthening attachment and communication skills to address abandonment, attachment issues, and blended family stress; it helps people improve connection and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions or shorter live chats can be easier to fit around work, childcare, or busy days, and text-based messaging allows ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats add flexibility while keeping the focus on steady, evidence-based progress.
