About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Suraci is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 25 years of experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, grief, and depression, and also focuses on caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, mood disorders, panic, and social anxiety and phobia.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and draws on their existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than labels. The first appointment is used to clarify goals and identify small, manageable changes to try between meetings.
Her approach favors straightforward techniques that address thought patterns, behavior, and coping skills. Work may include learning ways to reduce panic symptoms, practicing strategies for facing social situations, and building routines that ease ongoing anxiety and mood problems. Conversations also address relationship patterns and the stress that comes from caregiving roles.
Elizabeth aims to help people sort through complicated feelings like guilt, shame, and grief so they can make thoughtful decisions. She often helps clients identify values and simple actions that reflect those values. Progress is measured in practical terms such as fewer panic episodes, clearer priorities, or improved day-to-day functioning.
Clients come away with concrete tools and short plans to practice between sessions. She accepts clients who prefer to work in English and is open to international clients. Anyone interested can follow the site's steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to test and change those thoughts; this helps with worry, panic, and social anxiety. Behavioral strategies involve gradual exposure and skill practice to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social situations and daily tasks.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, daily routines, and goals together and then recommend methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as they learn what helps most and what fits into everyday life.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits the week, and reduce travel time. If video is not preferred, ask about alternative formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
