About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Huntoon is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship concerns, as well as grief, trauma, and issues tied to identity and life change. Sessions are offered in English and she has practiced extensively with older adults and end-of-life concerns.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person in the room. She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to help notice and shift thinking patterns that keep someone stuck.
Elizabeth has long experience supporting people through infertility, adoption and immigration transitions. That includes working with cultural adjustment to life in the United States and with caregivers facing long-term stress. She also addresses shame and guilt as they come up around relationships, loss, or difficult choices.
In sessions she combines emotion-focused attention with mindfulness practices to help people recognize difficult feelings and respond to them more clearly. She draws on Jungian ideas at times to look at personal meaning and patterns that repeat across life stages. The work can include practical problem solving, skill practice, and time to process painful memories.
Her Massachusetts practice has included workplace-related concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar, sleep and eating struggles, and compassion fatigue. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to set goals and agree how to proceed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy helps people guide the conversation toward what matters most to them, encouraging honest talk and shared decision-making about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and brief skill practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people identify and change how they respond emotionally to each other.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining listening-centered work with CBT exercises or using mindfulness between sessions to support emotional regulation.
