About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Moonan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with nine years of practice in a range of clinical settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and anger. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, addictions, self-esteem, career pressures, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, interactive conversations rather than long lectures. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as discussing what feels most unmanageable right now. She sees therapy as one part of overall wellbeing alongside medication, community supports, and nutrition.
Elizabeth draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses strengths-based and person-centered methods to notice what is already working and to guide the conversation. The emphasis is on concrete tools and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
In sessions she listens for patterns around abandonment, attachment, codependency, and communication problems. She helps people address issues like body image, eating-related concerns, substance and alcohol problems, jealousy, money stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her practice aims to build practical coping skills for managing anger, handling workplace frustration, and reducing ongoing resentment. If you want to work on how anger shows up in relationships or at work, she frames the work as step-by-step problem solving and skill practice.
Elizabeth practices in Virginia and conducts therapy in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they meet your needs.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Elizabeth draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, which look at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach practical skills for handling anger, anxiety, and low mood. Those techniques focus on testing unhelpful beliefs and trying small behavioral changes to reduce reactivity.She also uses strengths-based and person-centered methods to notice what is already helping you and to guide sessions around your priorities. Those approaches aim to build on existing coping skills and make sessions collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will help you decide which techniques to try based on your goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions. The plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how she is seeing clients. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone avoid travel time.
