About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strains, caregiver stress, ADHD, and codependency-related patterns.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. In sessions she listens closely, helps people name what is happening, and supports them in deciding next steps. She draws on several approaches rather than using a single method for everyone.
Her background includes community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range means she has worked alongside people with mood disorders, PTSD, medical illnesses, and complex life stressors. That experience informs how she looks at safety, symptoms, and daily routines.
Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. That lets her combine skills training, values-based work, practical coping tools, and trauma-focused techniques as needed.
Conversations often include setting manageable goals, learning small behavior changes, and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions. She also helps people who find themselves putting others first and losing sight of their own needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Sessions use a subscription model that may be canceled at any time and costs vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How Elizabeth brings therapeutic methods into online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong feelings show up. It can be useful for stress, people-pleasing, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories and their emotional impact through structured processing techniques and can be offered when trauma symptoms are a central concern.Figuring out which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, skills training, or trauma processing, and that plan can change over time as needs shift.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing time spent traveling. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, use shorter phone check-ins if needed, or meet without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and emotion-regulation practices to the online setting so therapy can fit into everyday life.
