About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Racicot is an LCSW in Arizona with 20 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She emphasizes practical steps and steady conversation to help clients sort through painful feelings and make decisions that fit their lives.

She often works with people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care histories, and blended family issues. Guilt and shame are among the concerns she addresses, along with loneliness, emptiness, and communication problems. Elizabeth also supports people facing postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

Her style is measured and collaborative. Sessions look at immediate coping tools and longer-term patterns that keep someone stuck. Elizabeth uses straightforward talk, reflection, and problem-solving rather than abstract theory, aiming to clarify what matters and what can change.

Beyond clinical work she is a parent and active in her community, which shapes a practical, everyday sense of what family life demands. That perspective shows up in sessions when exploring role expectations, caregiving strain, and holiday or faith-related pressures.

People considering therapy with her are guided through an initial match process and a first session to set goals and decide what steps feel manageable. The focus is on steady progress and realistic adjustments that fit each person's responsibilities and rhythms.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Evidence-based techniques often used in practical therapy include brief problem-solving approaches that focus on immediate coping steps and behavioral experiments to test small changes. These methods help when anxiety, low mood, or overwhelming tasks make daily life hard by breaking problems into manageable actions.

Another common approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This work looks at how early experiences shape how someone responds to rejection, abandonment, or closeness, and it helps people notice patterns they repeat in relationships and caregiving roles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and lifestyle. Together they review what has helped before, what feels doable now, and adjust methods as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing meetings around work, childcare, or medical appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and options that reduce tech demands, such as audio-only sessions, if that better fits someone's situation.
