About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting strain. She supports people coping with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and the emotional fallout after major life changes. She also works with those facing compassion fatigue and people affected by coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
She has nearly 20 years of experience in mental health. Her background includes community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range shapes a practical, flexible approach to care.
Elizabeth uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clarify values and take meaningful steps. She also uses client-centered skills to listen closely and DBT strategies for emotion regulation when strong feelings get in the way.
For trauma-related concerns she includes EMDR work when appropriate, paired with paced talk therapy and grounding skills. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, not just insights during them.
Her style aims to be straightforward and supportive. Elizabeth encourages people to bring what matters most to them, then works with each person to set small, realistic goals. If you want to start, she guides you through the first steps and scheduling so you can find a rhythm that fits your life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change patterns and build a life that reflects their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and depressive cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose small actions that match personal values.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard while deciding what strategies to try next. Finding the right approach is part of the process; she will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on difficult days. Many people find remote sessions let them keep momentum between appointments and practice new skills in their everyday routines. A licensed professional will discuss how to structure sessions so they work with your schedule and goals.
