About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Beth) Fitzpatrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and career challenges. She also supports those facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Beth uses clear, practical conversations to identify what is getting in the way. She listens to what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways to respond rather than long, open-ended talk.
Her work often brings in tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to map out next steps. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed strategies when the situation calls for them. The emphasis is on short-term changes that fit into day-to-day life.
People come to Beth for a wide range of problems including depression, bipolar symptoms, sleep difficulty, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses specific stresses like caregiver strain, bereavement, first responder issues, and challenges related to blended families and divorce.
Beth asks practical questions about what the client wants to change and what has already helped. Together they make a plan with clear actions to try between sessions. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed so progress is visible and concrete.
How Beth uses structured approaches in online sessions
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT sessions focus on practical strategies for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and everyday coping skills.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and to build motivation for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck about decisions like career moves, substance use, or behavior changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beth collaborates with clients to decide which methods to try first based on goals and preferences. Plans include specific steps to practice between sessions and get reviewed at the next meeting.
