About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Moonan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Virginia with nine years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps people can use each week.
She takes a whole-health view of care and treats therapy as one helpful piece alongside medication, community supports, or nutrition.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping with life changes and managing intense emotions. Elizabeth centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in conversations so people feel heard. Her work combines cognitive-behavioral techniques, strengths-based ideas, and a person-centered approach.
That means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, draw on existing strengths, and shape sessions around what matters most to them. The plan is adjusted to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Elizabeth has worked in a range of clinical settings and leans toward practical tools people can use between sessions.
She also pays attention to how relationships, attachment, and past hurts affect day-to-day life. Topics she often addresses include abandonment, communication problems, codependency, body image, substance issues, and loneliness. People who choose her can expect collaborative goal-setting and steady support while they practice new ways of coping.
Elizabeth acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy and focuses on helping people move toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

Practical approaches and online therapy options
Elizabeth blends cognitive-behavioral methods with strengths-based and person-centered work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more helpful actions; these methods often help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Strengths-based work highlights a person’s existing resources and past successes to build confidence and motivation. Person-centered work emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person values and needs right now.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for longer discussions and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently or use shorter written sessions when that format feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
