Elizabeth Bourne, LCSW

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly 20 years in mental health care. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday strain of parenting and family life. She works with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and health-related challenges such as cancer and caregiver stress.

She takes a practical, person-first approach. Sessions are meant to be a space to talk without judgment and to sort through hard choices. Elizabeth mixes methods rather than relying on a single technique so work in therapy is tailored to each person. That might mean learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or tackling upsetting memories at a pace that feels safe.

Her background includes work across community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That variety has shaped how she adapts methods to real life. She has supported people with mood disorders, PTSD, and life-limiting medical illnesses, and has experience addressing relationship and school-related stress.

Elizabeth explains things in plain language and focuses on concrete steps people can use between sessions. She helps people notice what matters most, build small habits, and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. For anyone juggling health concerns, caregiving duties, or major life change, she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, chronic illness adjustment, and decisions about caregiving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method some therapists use to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and strong distress related to past events.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what methods feel most comfortable. Together they will try approaches and adjust plans based on how the work is going and what fits the person's life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. Online work can also make it simpler to continue care if medical appointments or caregiving responsibilities interrupt a normal routine. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to an online setting while focusing on practical skills and step-by-step progress.
