Elizabeth Bourne, LCSW

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, relationship problems, grief, anger, ADHD, and related struggles. She also works with issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with big life changes.

She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and making day-to-day changes that reduce distress.

Her background includes community, inpatient, outpatient, and hospital settings. That range gives her experience with different levels of need and with people facing medical illness alongside emotional challenges. She has worked with people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, PTSD, mood disorders, ADHD, and other conditions.

In the room she listens for what matters most to each person. She helps people sort priorities and make practical decisions about relationships, work, health, and caregiving. Conversations often include behavioral tools, values-based choices, and techniques to manage strong emotions.

Many clients come wanting more control over anxiety or anger, or clearer ways to support family members. Elizabeth also assists those coping with grief, fertility or cancer-related stress, codependency, and communication problems. To begin, she asks about immediate needs and what a better week would look like.
