About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Swift is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience in Pennsylvania. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and those coping with life changes. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her focus areas.
She offers video and phone sessions, and she uses text only for brief general questions. In sessions she aims to help clients notice patterns and process difficult experiences in straightforward ways. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and make small changes.
Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and body-focused strategies. She uses methods intended to address how the body and nervous system respond to stress, and she integrates mindfulness skills to help reduce reactivity. These approaches are applied to concerns such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and addictive behavior.
Her work also addresses relationship and identity topics that show up for individuals, including codependency, family of origin issues, and matters related to LGBT concerns. She supports people dealing with sexual assault, domestic violence, and issues around abandonment without offering judgement.
Clients are invited to set goals and try out tools in ways that fit their life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Elizabeth uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and body-focused methods to address trauma and anxiety. One approach involves processing traumatic memories with focused attention on bodily sensations and eye movement patterns to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions. This can help people who struggle with flashbacks, panic attacks, or lingering post-traumatic stress symptoms.She also uses somatic and nervous system regulation tools that teach simple body-based skills. These techniques help people notice tension, practice grounding, and reduce physiological arousal that often accompanies anxiety and panic. Mindfulness-based practices are part of the toolbox to improve present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with what helps most.
Sessions are offered by video or phone only, with text limited to general questions. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know the exact format. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use appointment slots during work breaks or from home without commuting.
