About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and life changes. She meets people where they are and offers steady support while they make decisions or cope with hard moments.

She has about 20 years of experience in mental health and has worked in community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That background means she has seen many different kinds of challenges and ways people respond to them.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and flexible. She draws on several methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when it fits the person’s needs. Sessions focus on realistic steps, skills practice, and clear goals rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Elizabeth often helps with issues connected to family life and parenting, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiving stress, and the emotional effects of illness or fertility struggles. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, body image concerns, codependency, and anger or control issues. People who prefer a steady, down-to-earth therapist may find her style helpful.

She aims to create a space where someone can talk without judgment and try new ways of coping. If you want a therapist who blends practical tools with listening and encouragement, she may be a good fit.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is practical and skills-based. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process past traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day and to keep work on skills between sessions. These options make it possible to continue steady work on goals without traveling to an office.
