About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Fraser is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on collaborative, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while drawing on complementary approaches to address complex life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a person-focused, integrative stance that helps clients notice strengths, identify patterns that maintain distress, and build practical skills for change. Her work often blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to tailor interventions to each client's needs.

With eight years of experience across outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient settings, and federal programs, Elizabeth brings a breadth of clinical exposure to her caseload. She values the role of social supports, workplace or school contexts, and spiritual or cultural resources when shaping treatment plans.

Elizabeth offers services in English and Spanish and approaches areas such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem, body image, and life transitions. Clients can expect a warm, goal-oriented collaboration that combines problem-solving tools, mindfulness practices, and attention to underlying patterns.

Elizabeth aims to help individuals move toward clearer coping strategies, improved communication, and a greater sense of agency over everyday stresses and longer-term struggles.

Integrating practical approaches for online care

Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship that supports a person’s own capacity for growth and helps clarify goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy is used as well to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can support emotional regulation and coping.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with clients to explore which methods feel most useful for their situation, adjusting techniques over time based on progress, preferences, and evolving goals so the work fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow scheduling that fits busy lives, ongoing skill practice between sessions, and different communication styles for those who prefer synchronous conversation or shorter written check-ins with a licensed professional.
