Elizabeth Sharma , LCSW

Elizabeth Sharma is a California-licensed clinician with two decades of professional experience supporting individuals and families through challenging transitions. She holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and has focused much of her practice on family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Her work includes helping children and adolescents as well as adults coping with life changes and mood-related struggles.

She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique needs. Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as attachment and communication problems, post-traumatic stress, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult challenges.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often requires courage, Elizabeth honors that step and collaborates with clients to create practical, individualized strategies. Her style prioritizes empathy and tailored care to help clients move toward clearer communication, improved relationships, and better emotional regulation.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted for the needs she commonly treats. Trauma-focused techniques help people process and reduce the impact of past traumatic experiences, supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and abuse. Family- and attachment-focused work concentrates on improving communication, repairing relationship patterns, and supporting parents and adolescents through developmental challenges. Skills-based interventions teach practical coping tools for mood regulation, managing anger, and addressing attention-related difficulties like ADHD.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These remote options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage with licensed professionals from different locations while focusing on practical steps for improvement.
