About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Haines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 29 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, anger, and other life changes. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
Her style centers on listening and working together to set clear goals. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small steps that make a difference. Conversations are direct and focused on what someone wants to change.
Elizabeth has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy struggles, and caregiver stress. She also addresses blended family issues, infidelity, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. Work on mood disorders and seasonal mood changes is part of her practice as well.
Practical tools such as thought records, short behavioral experiments, and focused problem-solving are often part of sessions. She helps clients translate insights into everyday routines that can reduce reactivity and frustration. Progress is measured against the goals set together.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions, offers techniques rooted in CBT and solution-focused work, and checks in about what is or is not helping. People who want clear steps to manage anger and stress tend to respond well to this mix.
To begin, the recommended next step is to follow the site flow: complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to outline initial goals and plans.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says matters most. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's priorities, helps clarify goals, and adjusts pace based on how the client reacts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. It includes practical exercises such as thought records and short behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and shift patterns over time. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, specific steps that move someone toward their goals, often using brief, goal-directed conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice is based on needs, preferences, and the goals set together, and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the original profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit into a lunch break, and sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT and solution-focused tools online as they do in person, helping people practice new responses and manage anger and stress in everyday settings.
