Elizabeth Fraser, LCSW

Elizabeth Fraser is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of clinical experience in outpatient clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient care, and federal programs.

She centers sessions on what the person wants to change. Elizabeth helps people notice strengths, set clear goals, and build small, doable steps toward them. Sessions mix structured tools with open conversation so clients can try techniques and talk about how they fit into daily life.

Her work often includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening to prioritize what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness practices are taught to manage stress, sleep problems, and mood shifts.

Elizabeth draws on experience with trauma-focused and solution-focused ideas when people need targeted support after difficult events or want faster, goal-directed progress. She pays attention to family dynamics, caregiver strain, body image, and cultural factors that shape how someone experiences change.

People who reach out can expect clear explanations, practical exercises to try between sessions, and collaborative planning. Elizabeth aims to help clients build momentum, reduce overwhelm, and find strategies that fit their daily routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Elizabeth often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) online to help people notice patterns in their thinking and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that translate well to video or text formats. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work, which means sessions begin by listening closely to what the person needs and following their pace and priorities.

Mindfulness techniques are taught in short, usable ways so people can practice breathing, grounding, or brief awareness exercises between sessions. These practices can ease stress, support sleep routines, and reduce reactivity when added to everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Elizabeth will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. She collaborates with clients to set goals and chooses techniques that fit personality, schedule, and immediate concerns.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to work through things when time is tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy regular and to use skills in real time.
