About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne, LCSW, helps people handle strong emotions and everyday stress. She welcomes conversations about anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and down-to-earth, so parents reading on a phone can get a clear sense of what to expect in a session.
She brings 20 years of experience in community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That background means she has met many kinds of problems, from mood disorders and PTSD to life-limiting medical illness and ADHD.
Background and approach
She uses that experience to match strategies to each person’s needs rather than offering a single fixed method. Elizabeth draws from a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In practical terms that means sessions often include skills practice, values-based goals, and steps to manage intense feelings.
She aims for clear tools people can use between meetings. Many conversations cover family stress, parenting challenges, caregiving strain, and work-life pressure. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, body image, and complicated grief.
Her approach is to listen first, then co-create a plan that fits daily life and responsibilities. To start, she asks people to consider what matters most and what small steps feel doable. Sessions can focus on managing anger, improving communication, or building ways to cope with change.
Her goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Elizabeth Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Elizabeth commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and build purposeful routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of behaving, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and anger management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She listens to each person's goals and daily demands, then suggests methods that fit those priorities. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they prefer direct interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to squeeze brief skill practice or updates into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to get consistent support around work, family, and other responsibilities.
