About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Fraser is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life changes. She draws on eight years of practical experience across clinics, crisis settings, inpatient programs, and federal systems. Elizabeth keeps language simple and focuses on what a person wants to change in day-to-day life.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness skills, or using short-term goal work to get unstuck. She also pays attention to how family, work, school, and faith affect wellbeing.

Her background includes crisis intervention and inpatient care, so she is familiar with urgent needs and stepwise plans for safety and stability. She blends structured techniques with a client-centered stance, letting the person lead goals while offering tools and feedback.

Elizabeth often includes psychoeducation and simple behavior strategies to make progress manageable. She also brings relaxation and mindfulness exercises into sessions when people want concrete ways to reduce stress or calm intense emotions like anger.

She works in English and Spanish and holds a VA LCSW credential. People looking to begin are encouraged to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches and how online therapy can fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals, giving space for the client to describe what matters most and setting priorities together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns for issues like anxiety, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their situation and goals. That might mean trying short, solution-focused steps first and adding CBT or mindfulness skills over time as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when a full visit is not practical, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques and homework between sessions while keeping continuity with a licensed professional who tracks progress and adjusts the plan as goals change.
