About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne offers steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can talk through painful experiences. Elizabeth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice in mental health, based in New York.
She draws from several approaches to tailor care to each person. That can mean learning new coping skills, looking at thoughts that get in the way, or practicing acceptance of difficult emotions.
How Elizabeth works
Elizabeth also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events keep affecting day-to-day life. Her background includes community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range shaped how she matches methods to specific concerns.
People coming for help might work on grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, or navigating a health crisis. Elizabeth commonly addresses family and parenting worries by supporting parents and individuals dealing with family problems and communication issues. She also helps with body image, attachment and abandonment fears, and managing anger or shame.
Therapy sessions emphasize practical tools and clear steps. Expect conversations about values, behavior changes, and skills you can use between meetings. Elizabeth aims to make therapy feel relevant and doable, not overwhelming.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to improve mood and functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, targets distress tied to past traumatic events and can reduce how strongly those memories affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients play an active role in shaping their care.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for practical flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill work, phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
