Elizabeth Feagin, LCSW

Elizabeth Feagin is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Her approach is direct and warm, and she aims to help people make useful changes in daily life.

Before moving into private practice she spent many years working with veterans and people facing substance use concerns. That time shaped how she approaches stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and post-traumatic stress. She often helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck and find clearer next steps.

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to build a respectful, listening space. Motivational Interviewing helps when making changes feels hard or uncertain.

Sessions often focus on concrete goals. People work on short-term skills for coping with anxiety and methods to reduce cravings or risky behavior. She also supports work on forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, and rebuilding after trauma.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She will listen first, then offer tools and practice tasks to try between meetings. Appointments can include talk, problem-solving, and steps to practice at home.

Elizabeth offers several online session formats so people can choose what fits their life. She explains options clearly and helps clients pick a plan that matches their schedule and needs.

Practical approaches for online work

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective responses; this approach is often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where a person’s concerns guide the work and their own goals shape the plan. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change; it focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are spent listening, setting goals, and trying practical steps to see what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and short updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep working on goals between sessions.
