Elizabeth Fraser , LCSW

Elizabeth Fraser, LCSW, works collaboratively with people to uncover their strengths and practical capacities for addressing mental health concerns. She emphasizes an integrative, dynamic, and holistic framework, encouraging clients to identify goals and build on existing resources to improve overall wellbeing. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a clinical credential indicating specialized training in social work and therapeutic practice.

She considers family, friends, work or school settings, and spiritual or religious life as important elements in a person’s recovery and growth. This broader view guides her when exploring how different parts of life interact and influence mood, relationships, and daily functioning. Elizabeth has eight years of clinical experience across outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention services, inpatient programs, and federal initiatives, which informs her flexible and practical approach.

Elizabeth draws on a range of techniques and therapeutic modalities to meet each person where they are. Her work includes elements of Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused methods, crisis intervention, psychoeducation, behavior modification, mindfulness practices, and relaxation strategies. She adapts these tools to address stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and other life transitions, tailoring her work to each individual’s needs and preferences.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Elizabeth Fraser uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience and goals at the center of the work, fostering a collaborative relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth. This approach helps with relationship concerns, life purpose questions, and emotional adjustment by prioritizing the client's voice and preferences.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is another element of her practice, offering attention and acceptance techniques that can help with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth partners with each person to identify goals, test strategies, and refine methods so the treatment fits their needs, values, and pace. She aims to be collaborative in determining what works best.

Online therapy with Elizabeth can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that accommodate work schedules, family responsibilities, and geographic limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when life is busy or circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions to the client’s preferred mode of communication.
