About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Loring is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also covers addictions and LGBTQ-related concerns.

Elizabeth aims to make beginning therapy feel less daunting and values each person’s own strengths. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to what’s causing day-to-day strain.

Background and approach

She helps people name problems, try small changes, and build on what already works in their lives. Elizabeth has supported people through substance use challenges and related recovery concerns. She also assists those coping with mood disorders, self-harm history, and the fallout from sexual assault.

Her practice includes care for people navigating nontraditional relationships, kink and BDSM culture, and issues that arise from family of origin patterns. She brings experience with first responder stress and with coping after natural or human-caused disasters. People who feel stuck because of guilt, shame, or post-traumatic stress may find focused, practical support.

Elizabeth meets each person where they are and moves at a pace that fits their needs. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform matching and appointment process.

Approaches that guide online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change and safety. One approach emphasizes skills training and coping strategies to manage anxiety and mood symptoms; this involves teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps that people can use day to day. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people process distressing experiences at a pace they can tolerate and develop ways to reduce reactivity and intrusive memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, watches how a client responds to small changes, and adapts methods together rather than following a fixed plan. This helps match interventions to the person’s needs and comfort level over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a near face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between longer sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work between appointments.
