About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Sharma is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience providing compassionate, client-centered care in California. She focuses on supporting people navigating family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care transitions, and communication problems. Sharma emphasizes respect and sensitivity in each interaction and adapts conversations and treatment plans to the individual needs of the person seeking help.

Her background includes helping clients cope with major life changes, mood and panic-related symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and the aftermath of sexual assault. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages those taking the first step to seek support as an important act of courage.

Offering services in English and practicing across California, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to inform her approach while tailoring interventions to the goals and context of each client. Prospective clients can expect a thoughtful, flexible therapeutic relationship focused on practical coping strategies and emotional healing.

Evidence-based Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Elizabeth relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. She often draws on trauma-informed strategies that help clients process difficult experiences, build safety, and develop coping skills for symptoms like panic, mood instability, or post-traumatic stress. She also uses approaches geared toward improving family dynamics and parenting skills, focusing on communication, setting boundaries, and strengthening attachment and relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time so interventions remain relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend consistently, fit therapy into busy lives, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances while working with licensed professionals.
