About Elizbeth

Elizbeth Keeney is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people who feel anxious, disconnected, empty, or misunderstood. She listens carefully and starts from the position that she does not yet know a person's story. That makes space for the client to explain what matters and how they make sense of their life.

She focuses on how early interruptions in important relationships shape adult feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

Those early misses can show up as depression, anxiety, compulsive patterns, fears, or agitation. Sessions aim to identify those patterns and how they affect self-image and relationships now. Therapy is offered with empathic understanding, combined with honest, respectful feedback.

That mix helps people lower defenses, access feelings, and remember what they have experienced. Over time the work supports integrating those experiences into a clearer sense of self. Her background includes licensure in New York and New Jersey as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which she uses in ongoing psychotherapy work.

She views continuing education and supervision as part of her professional life and regularly takes workshops and seminars to stay current. Clients can expect a steady, curiosity-driven approach that blends careful listening with active involvement. The goal is practical change in how someone feels and relates, built on clearer awareness of past interruptions and present choices.

Online support

Approaches that guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current feelings and connections. It helps people notice patterns in relationships, feel what they avoided, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and the responses that follow. It supports processing traumatic memories and learning practical ways to reduce flashbacks, hypervigilance, and overwhelming emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, life circumstances, and preferences and suggest which method or combination might help most. Together you will check in and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your pace and needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you meet face to face when useful, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text provide shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
