About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Sarinana is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She speaks both English and Spanish and works with people who are navigating hard feelings and life changes.
Elizabeth centers each session on the person's strengths and lived experience. She helps clients name what feels off and build small, useful steps toward feeling steadier.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to emotion and everyday life skills. Her work covers issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. She also supports people struggling with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose or money.
Mood concerns and women's issues are also part of her focus. Over the years she has guided people through grief and loss and helped them regain motivation and self-love. Elizabeth emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace.
She encourages straightforward conversation and clear goals. Therapy sessions can happen through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins by selecting Start Therapy, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching skills to manage anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how past experiences shape current connections and communication. These methods aim to give clear tools for everyday situations and improve coping during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative, with ongoing adjustments so the plan fits the person's life and progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity over time.
