About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick is a California-licensed LCSW with 25 years of clinical practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She offers steady support for life transitions, career challenges, compassion fatigue, addictions, and intimacy or relationship struggles, working collaboratively to identify practical steps forward. Beth builds an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and patterns and develop concrete strategies.

Her background includes trauma-focused work and coaching-style guidance for communication, parenting, and coping with loss or serious illness. Using evidence-informed approaches, she helps clients translate insight into manageable plans for change.

Sessions emphasize partnership, problem-solving, and realistic goal setting so clients feel empowered to try new skills between meetings. Beth invites prospective clients to begin with a brief matching process and schedule appointments that align with their needs and availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, worry, and low mood. It offers practical skills that clients can practice between sessions to build more effective coping patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps clarify personal goals and strengthen commitment to change, often useful for addressing addictions, ambivalence about treatment, or behavior change related to health or career.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may combine elements of different methods to create a personalized plan. This partnership allows clients to try strategies and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of connection that feels most comfortable for the client.
