Elizabeth Moonan

Elizabeth Moonan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Virginia with nine years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and career concerns. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style is warm, empathetic, and interactive. Sessions focus on respectful listening and practical steps. She treats therapy as one part of whole health care and often discusses how medication, community supports, or nutrition can fit into treatment.

Elizabeth adapts her approach to each person. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and make small changes. She draws on strengths-based and person-centered methods to build on what already works for someone.

In practice she aims to create a sense of belonging and support. Conversations are tailored to the concern at hand, whether that is managing anger, addressing attachment or abandonment worries, or working through family and communication problems. She also addresses issues like body image, eating concerns, money stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and acknowledges that step. Elizabeth focuses on empowerment and practical tools so people can move toward the goals that matter to them.

Approaches that guide online work

Elizabeth draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep them stuck. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms by teaching practical skills for daily life.

She also uses strengths-based work that highlights personal resources and past successes. That approach helps when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure how to move forward by focusing on what already helps them cope.

Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which approaches to use and to adjust the plan over time based on goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when you only have a break. It can also support consistent work on issues like career stress, relationship communication, and coping with life changes without requiring a commute.
