About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Racicot is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people through difficult emotional seasons. She focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, and major life changes.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Elizabeth listens for what matters most and then helps identify small steps that feel doable.
How Elizabeth works
Her background includes long experience addressing mood disorders, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and problems tied to major life events. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family adjustments. Elizabeth works with common but painful experiences such as isolation, shame, guilt, emptiness, and difficulty communicating with loved ones.
She also provides counseling around hospice and end-of-life issues and the particular challenges of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). People can expect straightforward, compassionate guidance focused on real-life change. Elizabeth blends practical tools and thoughtful conversation so people can try new ways of coping and notice what helps.
Outside of her professional role she is a parent and is active in her community. That personal perspective informs her calm, down-to-earth style when helping others find clearer direction.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches concrete ways to manage anxiety and low mood, such as breath work, activity planning, and step-by-step coping strategies. This helps people handle stressors and daily ups and downs in simpler, more predictable ways.Another approach emphasizes processing grief and life transitions through guided conversation and meaning-making. That work helps people organize their thoughts, honor losses, and find ways to move forward while keeping important values in view. Both approaches are straightforward and focused on what people can do between sessions to notice change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That partnership helps tailor the work to individual needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for short check-ins or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new strategies without major travel or scheduling hurdles.
