About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fraser is an LCSW licensed in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, parenting concerns, relationship problems, and life transitions. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and blends practical techniques with attentive listening to help people manage overwhelming feelings.
She frames therapy around what each person already knows about themselves. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small changes that can make daily life easier. That might mean learning tools to notice and reduce angry outbursts, practicing clearer communication, or developing routines for better sleep and mood.
Elizabeth draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused approaches. She uses techniques like behavioral strategies, education about reactions, relaxation practices, and mindful awareness. These tools are used to address trauma, attachment issues, career stress, body image concerns, and caregiver strain.
Her background includes outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, inpatient programs, and federal programs. That variety has shaped a straightforward style that aims to translate therapy work into everyday habits. People can expect practical steps, reflection, and occasional homework to try between sessions.
Elizabeth encourages integrating support systems such as family, work, or faith when relevant. She helps clients weigh these resources alongside therapeutic work, so coping strategies fit real life and daily responsibilities.
How Elizabeth uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them notice strengths and choices. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, respectful conversation about anger, relationships, or life stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches short practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts, change patterns of reacting, and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger management, sleep problems, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills and relaxation techniques. These help reduce reactivity, calm the body, and create space to choose a response rather than react immediately. Mindfulness can support coping with stress, cravings, and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice may change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use audio only if bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual feedback helps the work.
