About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Sarinana is a California LCSW with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Elizabeth also addresses guilt and shame alongside concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, and loneliness.
She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and conversations that help people understand patterns and make different choices. Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those discussions without imposing a single way of working.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, asks targeted questions, and helps people notice how past experiences influence current feelings and reactions. Work can include talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways to communicate, and developing small experiments to test different behaviors.
Elizabeth supports people dealing with forgiveness, money and financial stress, life purpose, and issues common to women. She pays attention to how attachment and communication problems show up in relationships and daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what matters now.
She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Elizabeth works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach looks at how thoughts and beliefs shape feelings and behavior, helping people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and persistent guilt.Another approach examines attachment and relationship patterns from the past and how they repeat today. It helps people recognize repeating dynamics and practice new ways of relating, which can affect loneliness, communication problems, and trust issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting as needed.
