About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Brennan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She began in public mental health, doing direct care, assessments, case management, and therapy. She also spent time with a nonprofit focused on art and community development. Elizabeth draws on that variety of roles when supporting people through hard times.
She offers a calm, patient approach and aims to help people learn more about themselves. Sessions focus on practical steps and personal exploration. Elizabeth values creativity and encourages clients to use artistic expression as part of healing when it fits their needs.
Her background includes undergraduate study in social work and fine art, followed by a master’s degree completed in 2017. Past roles have included work with neuroatypical family systems and support for people with intellectual and developmental differences. That experience informs how she adapts therapy to each person’s situation.
Elizabeth works with a range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, body image, chronic pain, relationship challenges, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She aims to help people build skills, manage stress, and make thoughtful changes in their lives.
Outside of therapy she makes pottery and watercolor paintings and enjoys cooking, gardening, fermenting, and travel. She emphasizes respect for each person’s uniqueness and supports people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what’s said, and helps people name their goals and values. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring personal challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depression. CBT offers concrete tools people can practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle strong emotions. It can help people manage stress, improve relationships, and reduce impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may mix listening, skill practice, and creative work depending on what helps most.
