About Elizabeth

Her LICSW credential indicates advanced clinical training and licensure in Massachusetts, and she frames therapy as a process of support, skill-building, and personal insight.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship; it helps people feel heard and guides the therapy pace to what feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep or eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and relationship patterns, supporting people who want to improve connection, navigate intimacy concerns, or process grief.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt methods based on presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences so the work feels practical and relevant. This means techniques may shift over time as needs and circumstances change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that suits an individual’s comfort and needs.
