About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Huntoon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 40 years of practice. She focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of life stresses that can make daily functioning harder.
She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include checking what thoughts lead to difficult feelings, trying new responses, and building small routines that reduce overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she draws on alongside client-centered work and mindfulness techniques.
Her experience includes helping people with fertility and adoption concerns, immigration and cultural adjustment, caregiver stress, and aging or end-of-life issues. She has also worked with addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress. These areas are approached with attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns.
Elizabeth has a history of supporting people through major life changes such as loss, relocation, and illness. She can assist with emotional responses to trauma, feelings of isolation, and multicultural concerns. Practical problem-solving and emotion-focused conversations are part of how she helps people move forward.
Clients are invited to start from their current situation and work step by step. The aim is to create clearer thinking, fewer automatic reactions, and manageable daily practices that reduce distress and improve functioning over time.
How Elizabeth integrates practical approaches in online sessions
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-centered work gives space for the client to describe concerns and decide the pace and goals of therapy.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and shift strong emotions in relationships. EFT-style work can be useful when the main goal is to understand attachment patterns and improve emotional communication with others.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences, and adjust as needed over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try first and how to measure progress.
