About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with eight years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and related issues. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on multiple therapy methods to support practical change.
She works in a collaborative way, asking clients what matters most and helping them identify strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use outside the session. That might mean skill practice for managing strong feelings, tools for sleep and eating concerns, or short-term goal work for career and life transition questions.
Fraser blends techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused work. She uses these approaches to help with patterns that cause repeated conflict, intense reactions, or persistent low mood. Trauma-informed methods appear in her background where trauma or crisis is part of a person's story.
Her experience includes outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient programs, and federal program work. That variety shapes a practical, problem-solving focus in sessions. People often leave with a small set of steps to try between meetings.
She values considering a person's supports - family, friends, work, and faith - when relevant. That perspective aims to connect therapeutic work with daily life and existing resources.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's own strengths. In practice this looks like sessions where the therapist checks what matters most and helps people set realistic goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. These practices can help when frustration escalates or when rumination keeps problems going.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT skills, mindfulness practice, psychodynamic reflection, or solution-focused steps best match the client's needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can still fit into everyday schedules and reduce travel time, making it easier to keep regular meetings. Phone sessions can be useful when video bandwidth is limited, and shorter check-ins can work well for quick coaching or skill refreshers. The therapist aims to tailor session rhythm and homework to each person's life and practical constraints.
