About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life stresses. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She focuses on practical approaches that help people notice what is working and where change is needed. Elizabeth draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people change thoughts, cope with strong feelings, and build calmer routines.
Her background includes work in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient programs, and federal settings. That mix of settings shaped how she responds in urgent moments and during longer-term work. She uses solution-focused strategies when people want concrete next steps and.psychodynamic ideas when someone wants to understand long-standing patterns.
In sessions she talks through day-to-day concerns like parenting strain, caregiver stress, sleep and eating issues, and relationship communication. She also supports people facing identity and multicultural questions, immigration stress, and career decisions. The aim is to make small, sustainable changes that fit into daily life.
If someone wants to begin, the usual first steps are completing a brief intake and discussing goals. Elizabeth works collaboratively to set priorities and choose approaches that match each person's situation and preferences.
How sessions work
How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person set their own goals. In online sessions this looks like time spent clarifying priorities and deciding what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and homework between sessions to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust techniques based on what helps most. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy weeks, make it easier to schedule around caregiving or work, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Depending on the options she offers, this can make it simpler to follow through on homework and to keep progress steady over time.Areas of focus
