More about Elisabeth
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinician with over 20 years of experience working with multiple treatment modalities to assist both people in crisis and people seeking to improve self esteem, evaluate all types of relationships and life goals or make major life changes. I am very practical in terms of helping you to make changes and transitions in your life. My viewpoint is one of working with a person and also what surrounds that person - family, community, workplace and social life. I am also caring, warm, and open professionally to spiritual and alternative methods such as mindfulness and meditation.
I am open to both video and phone sessions but not to chat or text sessions as I believe it is easy to misinterpret emotions and levels of concerns you may express via text and chat. Finding a therapist that you trust and connect with is a challenging task, it is important to me to offer the best of myself when we are working together.
Over the past twenty years I have worked with people experiencing chronic and terminal illness, mental heath crisis, homelessness, PTSD, consequences of aging, and disability. I have also worked with people wanting to improve self esteem, work through family and relationship issues, and also the many internal conflicts experienced throughout the stages of life as beliefs, needs and goals change over time. I am comfortable working with LGBTQ clients and also with clients in alternative lifestyles such as polyamory, swinging and BDSM. My goal is for each client to have a space to discuss choices and needs openly in a caring and professional relationship.
For all the clients who have posted reviews - I am so grateful you are a part of my life, and thank you so much for your kindness!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very easy to talk to.

I can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth. She really listens, speaks warmly, tells you what you need to hear/know when a kind delivery. I’m would recommend her to anyone seeking guidance. 10/10 therapist!
She is a good listener and has made it comfortable for me to open up. I have not opened up to anyone since my mother passed away.
Really enjoying my time with Elisabeth. Lots to work on but feeling like she understands my needs.
She’s super understanding and a great therapist
Elizabeth has helped me so much with my chronic illness. She is a good active listener and her insights have been very practical and helpful. I would highly recommend her!
Awesome therapist. She’s helped me so much with everything I’ve been going through.
Elizabeth has been an amazing help to my mental health! She helps me see that I am making progress and that I am growing as a person. She also makes me feel heard and feel seen as a person. She’s always taken my concerns seriously and always helps me see things in a realistic manner. She’s great and she’s really helped me alot these last couple months :)
Elisabeth is able to listen to what I’m saying and dissect the points that I’m trying to make with ease. She helps me better understand myself and my feelings. She has a gentle and calming demeanor which helps make therapy a place I feel safe and welcomed.
Super awesome and kind and helps me think clearly when my mind is busy.
Elisabeth helped me out of a really dark in my life (as most therapists do of course), but she genuinely made me feel comfortable and excited to talk at each of my appointments. She felt like a good friend I could vent to and then I trusted her enough to give me the best direction to take. She gave me the best tools that I could learn from in order to live life more happily and I am so thankful to her. If you have her recommended to you, please feel free to give her a try! She’s an angel!
In the month I’ve gotten to speak with Elisabeth I am thinking so much clearer. She truly knows how to frame things in a different lens and provide relief and validation but with such sound advice. I look forward to every week with Elisabeth and if others are seeking a therapist I strongly recommend her.
She is helping in a way no one has been able to
Elisabeth has helped me tremendously and I look forward to our weekly sessions. She has gotten me to be more self aware, mindful, and generally a more healthy person. Each session, she enlightens me to something new and I’m so grateful for how much she’s helped me grow in the past 6 months.
I've spent three wonderfully challenging months talking with Elisabeth while I've gone through some big life changes. She helped me feel heard, accepted and understood in every single session we had. Elisabeth asked me thoughtful questions that were difficult to answer at times, but it was exactly what I needed to work through my issues. She is very kind, non-judgmental, and helped me feel confident in the life I want to live. I'm grateful for Elisabeth and will recommend her to anyone.
She has been absolutely wonderful with providing me feedback and giving validation to my concerns. She always responds to me quickly and is super easy to talk to. She has given me insight to why I might feel the way I do about certain things and ideas on help manage those feelings. I would highly recommend her to my peers.
Elizabeth made me feel so comfortable and validated the very first time we spoke. She meets and understands my needs and assists me in better understanding myself and situations in life. 10/10 recommend Elizabeth.
Elisabeth Spears is an awesome therapist. She is very engaging and transparent. Easy to talk with and calms my anxiety. I will recommend her to family and friends.
Elisabeth is extremely caring and supportive but she also doesn’t sugarcoat things which is helpful. I feel very listened to by Elisabeth and I have very much benefitted from our time together.
I appreciate all Elisabeth has done for me during my few months working with her. She is an excellent listener and thoughtful in her feedback. She has helped me grow by gently reminding me of what I already know through past experiences and challenging my way of thinking in new situations. Every week, I am more open to putting myself into vulnerable situations and eliminating guilty feelings around situations in which I have no control.
Elisabeth, is a great therapist and listens to my concerns, and helps me out.
She is the only therapist I would recommend. I. appreciate her.
Gives excellent techniques Always has great advice
An absolute Star. Very caring and empathetic!
Elisabeth is a great therapist that I found after my long search. I’ve been to quite a couple of therapists and none of them really suited me like she does. I appreciate her skills and her overall demeanor and support!
Elizabeth is wonderful!
Very attentive and asks all the right questions! Love her!
Elisabeth is fantastic to talk to. She truly cares about the root of your issues, and wants to find the best treatment that finds your situation. I feel like the care I'm getting from her is truly tailored to my experience and issues.
She’s super sweet and she listens really well. She also gives practical advice and tips you can use. She goes at your pace and doesn’t rush you. I really do like her
This has been my first experience with therapy and Elizabeth is so supportive. I am able to speak comfortably without feeling like I need to hold back any details. She is receptive to my concerns and listens intently before giving me advice and sending me helpful articles and resources.
