About Elizabeth Stone

Elizabeth Stone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who guides people through emotional healing that can follow a single event or years of struggle. She frames healing as a process of self-discovery, cultivating mind-body awareness, and learning to trust intuition while strengthening inner resilience to better accept oneself. Her approach emphasizes helping people manage life’s adversities rather than allowing those experiences to define them.

She is trained in trauma-informed care and in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and she has additional training in EMDR. Elizabeth draws from a range of evidence-based strategies to meet each person’s needs, and she incorporates mindfulness-based practices to support the connection between mind and body. That holistic focus aims to integrate practical skills with present-moment awareness so clients can apply what they learn to everyday challenges.

Elizabeth also works alongside group therapy programs that support military personnel and first responders, including collaborative retreats designed to address the specific stresses of those roles. She brings this blend of trauma-informed methods, mindfulness, and structured therapeutic techniques to help people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and other life transitions.

This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from home or while traveling.

Licensed professionals offer a variety of therapeutic approaches online, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For those weighing the choice, online therapy can provide practical access to therapeutic tools and support without sacrificing the structure and therapeutic work found in traditional settings.
