About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Winslow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) in New York with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and depression. She also works with issues such as social anxiety and phobia and caregiver stress.
Her style is conversational and person-focused. She listens and responds to what each person brings. Sessions are organized around the problems someone wants to change and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Elizabeth uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and perspective. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice and manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Together these approaches are aimed at clearer thinking, calmer responses, and more effective communication.
She has worked across a range of life stages and stresses, including aging and geriatric concerns, family of origin issues, and midlife transitions. Elizabeth also supports people facing isolation, guilt and shame, and issues around self-love and forgiveness.
Her approach combines steady listening with concrete strategies. She will talk through current difficulties, offer tools to practice, and revisit what is or is not helping. The focus is on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person decide what to try next. This approach is useful for relationship problems, family issues, and deciding priorities in stressful times.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and grounding practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. These techniques can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and managing moments of overwhelm, including social anxiety and phobia challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will help identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust them as progress is made. The process is collaborative and revisited over time.
