About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 25 years of practice. She works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, career challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Beth describes her work as talking through problems with clients and helping them make concrete plans to move forward.
Beth uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns and practical steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused methods to address patterns, motivation, and coping skills. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than abstract theory.
Her style centers on direct listening and collaborative planning. She helps people name problems, weigh options, and try specific strategies between sessions. She also addresses parenting stress, sleep problems, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related concerns when these come up in therapy.
Over her career Beth has worked with issues that include abandonment and attachment wounds, blended family challenges, caregiving and hospice stress, domestic violence, first responder strain, and responses to disaster. She also supports people facing cancer, end-of-life decisions, and complex family dynamics. Her background gives attention to both immediate coping and longer term adjustments.
To begin Beth asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She uses practical tools in sessions and encourages follow-through between meetings so progress is measurable and clear.

How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a practical way. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and strengthen motivation for change, which is useful for addictions, career shifts, and health-related decisions.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what works. That shared decision making guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to remote conversations so progress and goals remain measurable.
