Elizabeth Bourne, LCSW

Elizabeth Bourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, relationship problems, ADHD, and related issues. Elizabeth also addresses compassion fatigue, self-esteem, anger, and life changes.

She draws on several evidence-based methods and adjusts how she uses them to fit each person's situation. In sessions she listens, helps people name what matters to them, and teaches skills to manage strong feelings and upsetting memories. She often mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies when those are helpful.

Elizabeth has experience across community, inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings. That background informs practical strategies for day-to-day coping as well as for more complex situations like medical illness, grief, or trauma. She has worked with people who have had diagnoses such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and mood disorders.

Her approach is straightforward: identify the problem, try manageable steps, and review what helps. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories when appropriate.

People who reach out can expect clear communication about goals and simple exercises to practice between sessions. She asks about values and priorities, and then she helps shape concrete next steps to address parenting strain, relationship conflict, burnout, or loss.
