Elizabeth Bourne , LCSW

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in mental health care. As an LCSW she provides therapeutic support across a range of concerns, combining professional training with a practical, compassionate approach. She has worked with people living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and life-limiting medical illnesses, as well as those navigating grief, phobias, relationship difficulties, and school-related challenges.

Her background spans community programs, inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and hospital settings, giving her experience with diverse treatment environments and clinical needs. Elizabeth favors a flexible approach to therapy, drawing from multiple modalities rather than relying on a single method, because she believes that mental health care should be tailored to each person's situation and preferences. She emphasizes listening without judgment and supporting individuals as they make difficult decisions and practical changes in their lives.

Elizabeth aims to create a space where people feel heard and valued while they work through stress, family challenges, self-esteem struggles, trauma, and other life transitions. She encourages those seeking support and looks forward to partnering with people who are ready to explore their goals and coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify their values and learn practical strategies for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on living in line with what matters most.)

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathic understanding, and supports self-directed growth. This approach is effective for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating family or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It provides concrete tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.)

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers greater flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow people to engage in therapy from their own environments, making it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and receive support in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
