About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Ramirez-Weaver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical challenges like concentration, memory, low motivation, and executive functioning - helping clients develop planning and organizational strategies to support daily life and responsibilities. She also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment, family of origin patterns, and communication problems that contribute to ongoing emotional strain.

Her style is compassionate and collaborative, centering respect and sensitivity while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Elizabeth uses a flexible, evidence-informed toolkit that can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches to target mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and related concerns.

She supports exploration of identity issues including sexual orientation, gender identity, and racial or ethnic identity, and brings multicultural awareness to clinical work. Elizabeth provides services in Virginia and offers care in English and Spanish.

She emphasizes partnership in therapy, helping clients set and pursue realistic goals to improve functioning, reduce distress, and increase well-being.

Evidence-Informed Strategies for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders; it is practical and often includes skills for managing daily challenges like planning and organization. Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores different parts of a person’s inner experience and helps build internal cooperation and self-leadership, which can be valuable for addressing attachment issues, shame, and trauma-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then tailor techniques from these methods to create a personalized plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from home or work. These formats can support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and convenient ways to engage in therapy while balancing other responsibilities.
