About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing big life changes, and she offers support around parenting and family concerns. She works with people navigating mood struggles, trauma, relationship issues, and questions about identity and self-esteem.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations are aimed at finding what helps in daily life.
Background and approach
That might mean learning concrete skills, practicing new ways of thinking, or using mindfulness to handle strong emotions. Her background includes work in community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range shaped a flexible approach to care and a preference for tailoring tools to each person’s needs instead of one fixed method.
Her credential is LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She draws from several approaches depending on the person and the problem. Techniques can include acceptance-based strategies, cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking, skills for emotional regulation, and targeted work for traumatic memories.
Sessions typically focus on what would help most right now and over time. Clients can expect practical guidance and steady support while they try things that feel challenging. Elizabeth invites people to explore options, make small changes, and build habits that fit their family life and responsibilities.
She encourages those who are ready to reach out and begin a match process.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them while committing to actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions around parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, and relationship problems through practical exercises and homework. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets disturbing memories and trauma symptoms through a structured process that works toward reducing their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they’ll try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video is useful for interactive skill work and deeper conversation. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick support, processing between sessions, or for those who prefer writing instead of speaking.
