About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, career setbacks, and self esteem concerns. She brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Beth aims to make the first step feel easier for those ready to talk through hard things.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Conversations lead to clear, manageable plans tailored to each person’s situation. Beth encourages realistic goals and small changes that add up over time.

Her work often addresses life transitions, caregiver stress, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing addictions, bipolar mood challenges, depression, ADHD concerns, and identity issues related to LGBT experiences.

Clinically, Beth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She uses Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her care when past events affect present life.

Practically, she helps people create step-by-step plans for coping, offers coaching-style guidance for career and life decisions, and works on communication and attachment concerns. If you want straightforward support and a partner in planning next steps, Beth offers steady, experience-based practice to help you move forward.

How Beth Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Elizabeth often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people find their own reasons to change and build readiness in small steps. It can be helpful for addictions, career shifts, or when motivation feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Beth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between appointments. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
