About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life chapters. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. Elizabeth often helps those coping with grief, relationship strain, career questions, and major life changes.

She has a particular interest in women's issues and in supporting adult survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. She also focuses on self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with caregiving and aging. Codependency and attachment concerns are among the topics she commonly addresses.

Her style centers on treating each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on existing strengths. She encourages steady growth and practical steps that can fit into daily life.

Elizabeth draws on several approaches to tailor care to individual needs. Techniques help people notice unhelpful patterns, make values-based choices, and strengthen emotional connection with themselves and others. She emphasizes clear communication and realistic goals.

People who prefer a thoughtful, steady guide may find her approach helpful. She frames change as a process and supports small, manageable shifts. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step more manageable and hopeful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people name their core values and take small actions that align with those values. It teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings so they have less control over choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or another method is the best fit and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm exact online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or skip a commute when arranging a session during a break from work. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively through remote appointments, and the therapist will adapt techniques to work well in the chosen session format.
