About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Stone is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She uses straightforward, practical methods so clients can take small steps forward. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person sitting across from her.
Elizabeth brings 11 years of experience to each conversation and works from Illinois. Her approach blends attention to the body with talk-based tools. Somatic therapy is used alongside mindfulness and cognitive strategies to help people notice how emotions show up in the body.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take actions that fit those values. Elizabeth keeps goals concrete and doable. She helps with grief, relationship strain, career questions, eating concerns, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, and feelings of isolation.
She also addresses issues such as control, attachment, guilt, and life purpose in clear, step-by-step ways. In practice she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location and availability.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The early meetings focus on understanding immediate needs and deciding which mix of approaches will be most helpful going forward.
How Somatic and Mindful Methods Work Online
Somatic Therapy focuses on awareness of bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body. In online work this can mean noticing breath, posture, or tension and using simple in-the-moment exercises to shift physical responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to current needs and preferences and then try different techniques collaboratively. Together they decide which mix of somatic awareness, ACT ideas, or client-centered support feels most useful for the person's goals.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different comfort levels and schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between meetings using text or chat. The format supports flexibility while the therapist focuses on practical tools that translate across each mode.
