About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Sarinana is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and works with clients in California and beyond.

She approaches therapy as a partnership and treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation.

Background and approach

Elizabeth aims to help people notice strengths, try small changes, and build momentum toward their goals. In the room she listens for what matters most and breaks problems into manageable parts. Conversations often include looking at attachment and communication patterns, addressing shame or guilt, and sorting through feelings after separation or loss.

She helps people clarify values and make decisions around money, work, and life purpose. Elizabeth uses methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients practice skills between meetings and track what works.

The goal is steady progress, not perfection. Starting therapy with her begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's life. Elizabeth recognizes that taking the first step takes courage and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

Approaches and how online therapy fits

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete, practical work. One approach concentrates on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and lift mood; clients learn skills to manage worry and build more helpful routines. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and cope with loss or separation; this helps people understand how past relationships shape current responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so work in sessions connects to real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
