Elizabeth Paul, LICSW, LCSW

Elizabeth Paul is a trauma-informed psychotherapist based in New York with five years of clinical experience supporting adults, young adults, couples, and families. She works with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and persistent emotional or relational patterns. Her practice often addresses areas such as stress, attachment concerns, family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and the complexities of nontraditional relationship structures.

Her approach is collaborative, direct, and compassionate, blending evidence-based methods with relational sensitivity. She integrates techniques including EMDR, family systems work, attachment-focused interventions, and somatic awareness, and she tailors treatment to each person’s needs and personality. Elizabeth emphasizes helping clients cultivate emotional regulation, practical insight, and sustainable changes in how they relate to themselves and others without resorting to a one-size-fits-all model.

Elizabeth holds LICSW and LCSW credentials - LICSW denotes Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and LCSW denotes Licensed Clinical Social Worker - reflecting her training and licensure to provide clinical social work services. Her style is warm and conversational while remaining focused on meaningful therapeutic progress, offering a space to slow down, explore what lies beneath surface difficulties, and build a steadier relationship with oneself and with others.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Healing

Elizabeth Paul draws from several evidence-based approaches to help clients make sense of difficult experiences and patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms. Family systems work looks at patterns within families and relationships to address recurring conflicts and improve communication and roles across family members. Attachment-focused interventions explore how early relational experiences shape current connections and help rebuild safety and trust in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth partners with clients to identify goals, weigh different techniques, and adapt methods to each person’s needs, preferences, and pace so therapy feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location. These options support sustained work over time while allowing the therapist and client to find the format that best supports progress.
