About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bennett is a licensed psychologist in Virginia with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to help parents who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She offers a calm space where people can say what they really feel. She listens without judgment and helps families sort through immediate problems. Conversations are practical and focused on what changes can make day-to-day life easier.

Background and approach

Her work covers related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and postpartum depression. She also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, and low self-love, and supports people facing mood or personality challenges. Over two decades of practice inform how she approaches each situation.

Elizabeth draws on evidence-based techniques to guide sessions toward clear steps and skills parents can try at home. Progress is built one small change at a time. She believes reaching out is a brave first step.

The focus in sessions is on practical problem solving, clearer communication, and restoring a sense of direction. Elizabeth aims to support and empower people as they work toward a more manageable family life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care for families

Elizabeth uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for stress and anxiety through step-by-step strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and abuse in a paced way so upsetting memories are less disruptive and parents can focus more on present family life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they face. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for busy parents to connect from home, follow through with regular sessions, and practice new skills between meetings.
