About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Stone is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage intense emotions and get back to daily life. She focuses on practical steps that make tasks feel more doable and restores a sense of control when stress or grief feels overwhelming.
She brings 11 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Her work also covers attention challenges, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She supports people dealing with relationship strain, caregiving stress, and issues tied to identity and purpose. Elizabeth blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness practices are used to reconnect the body and breath to everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful steps forward. Sessions can include short skills practice, goal-focused planning, and gentle attention to past hurts that still affect day-to-day functioning.
Elizabeth also has experience with concerns tied to first responder and veteran experiences, and with aging or caregiver stress. She works with people who want clear strategies as well as those who need a steady listening presence. Elizabeth holds licenses in Illinois and Iowa as an LCSW and LISW.
Work is offered in English, and online session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Online support
Practical approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations that require long-term coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing beliefs with practical exercises; it often helps reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and unhelpful behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity, which can support work on trauma, anger, and grief.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying skills-focused CBT for a few sessions, adding mindfulness practices, or leaning into ACT strategies for values-driven change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework, or times when a shorter, written conversation is easier to manage. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when in-person visits are not practical.
