About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential that indicates advanced training in clinical social work. She approaches therapy with the conviction that everyone deserves time and a calm space for self-care, where they can be heard without judgment and supported while making difficult decisions.

With almost 20 years of experience in mental health, she has worked across community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. Her background includes supporting people with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and other mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and life-limiting medical illnesses, as well as those coping with grief, phobias, relationship concerns, and school-related challenges. That breadth of experience informs her ability to tailor care to varied needs.

Elizabeth draws on a range of therapeutic methods rather than a one-size-fits-all model, matching techniques to each person’s circumstances and goals. She works with individuals and families on issues such as stress, parenting, self-esteem, trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, and major life transitions. She recognizes the courage in reaching out for help and is committed to offering steady, compassionate support to those who seek it.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and challenges that involve avoidance or uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the lasting emotional impact of distressing memories by processing them in a structured way; it is often applied when past experiences continue to affect daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access therapists from different locations while working toward lasting change.
