About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as career strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, sleep problems, and parenting challenges.
Beth uses practical conversation and goal-focused strategies in sessions. She listens for what is getting in the way day to day and works with clients to set small, doable steps. Her work draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide specific problem-solving and coping skills.
Sessions tend to focus on clear problems and next steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect help identifying patterns, testing small changes, and reflecting on what is and is not working. Beth pays attention to how stress and past hurts affect current choices and relationships.
She has additional experience supporting people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, caregiver and hospice concerns, first responder stress, domestic violence, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Her background includes work across settings that deal with grief, serious illness, and life transitions.
Beth aims to make sessions straightforward and usable. She helps people build practical strategies for communication, emotion regulation, and daily routines. The emphasis is on clear goals, step-by-step planning, and tracking what changes help in ordinary life.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify what matters and find internal motivation to make changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in on what is helping and adjusts strategies so sessions remain relevant and actionable.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera every time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Motivational Interviewing techniques to work over remote visits, focusing on homework, skill practice, and progress reviews so improvements carry into daily life.
