About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strain. Elizabeth also supports people navigating trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.
Her background includes work in community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range means she has seen how problems look in different parts of life and across crises and routine struggles. She draws on several practical methods rather than one fixed technique.
In sessions she listens and helps clients sort what matters most. Conversations focus on specific problems and workable steps. She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s situation instead of a single program for everyone.
Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These tools are used to help with things like managing intense feelings, changing unhelpful thought patterns, improving relationships, and processing trauma.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and steady practice. She helps people notice patterns, try new strategies, and build skills that fit day-to-day life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking action in line with what matters. ACT can help with ongoing anger, worry, and life changes by helping people decide what they want their life to look like and take steps toward it.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for problems like anxiety, low mood, and recurring anger because it breaks issues into concrete patterns to address.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories. In plain terms, EMDR guides people through structured memory work to reduce the intensity of past events that continue to affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily realities. That collaborative process may involve trying a skill-based approach for weeks or combining methods for different problems.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. The goal is practical care that can be used between sessions and in everyday situations.
