About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship conflicts, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult choices and feel heard without judgment, emphasizing thoughtful self-care and steady support through life transitions. Drawing on work in community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings, Elizabeth blends evidence-based methods rather than relying on a single therapeutic style.

Her practice integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral strategies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR when appropriate, and client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs. Areas of focus include parenting and family concerns, identity and LGBT issues, compassion fatigue for caregivers, and a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

Elizabeth approaches therapy collaboratively, meeting clients where they are and adjusting methods to fit individual situations instead of prescribing one standard path. She welcomes those ready to begin the work of change and offers practical treatment options informed by twenty years in mental health care in New York.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to you

Elizabeth uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered when trauma processing is appropriate and involves targeted techniques to reduce distress associated with traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Elizabeth will work together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make consistent care more accessible for people balancing work, family, and other commitments while allowing therapists to use the same clinical tools and interventions they would in person.
