About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, and ADHD. She aims to partner with each person to find practical steps forward. Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life change.
She combines client-centered care with evidence-based techniques. That means conversations start where the person is and then move toward small, achievable goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to address thinking patterns and daily habits that get in the way.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient programs, and federal settings. Those experiences shaped how she responds in high-stress moments and how she supports steady progress over time. She draws on a range of tools to match the situation.
Sessions often blend short-term problem solving with deeper reflection. Solution-focused work can help with immediate challenges like sleep or anger. Psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring long-standing patterns such as attachment or self-esteem issues.
She also brings attention to the roles of relationships, work or school, and spiritual or cultural values. That means conversations may include how family dynamics, career pressures, or cultural background affect daily life. Spanish-language support is available for those who prefer it.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting a person where they are and working at their pace. Online sessions using this approach start with the person’s priorities and build goals together, which can be useful for concerns like self-esteem, life purpose, or multicultural issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress. In remote sessions CBT often includes practical tools - thought records, activity plans, and skill practice between appointments - that help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related organization, sleeping, and anger. Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques to the person’s goals, preferences, and experiences. That collaborative decision-making continues as progress is tracked and methods are adjusted. Online formats bring practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or week-to-week adjustments without a full session, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.Questions people ask
