About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with broad experience supporting people through work problems, caregiving strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and substance-related issues.

With 25 years of practice as an LCSW in California, Beth uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone wants practical next steps and quick momentum. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Beth aims to make space for sensitive topics like trauma, abandonment, or compassion fatigue, and to help clients set realistic goals for change.
She supports people dealing with parenting stress, blended family issues, and end-of-life caregiving concerns. People come to Beth for help with sleeping problems, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and career or vocational decisions. She also assists those coping with domestic violence aftermath, natural disaster stress, or first responder pressures.
Beth prefers to work with specific, actionable plans so progress is visible. She helps clients talk through feelings, try new coping strategies, and track small wins. If someone wants a calm, experienced clinician who focuses on practical change, Beth aims to be that support.

Approaches that translate to online care
Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills for everyday situations. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients name their own reasons for change and strengthen personal motivation before taking action.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress unfolds. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill practice, motivation work, or solutions-focused planning.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or hands-on coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands while keeping the focus on what helps the client move forward.
