About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Paul is an LICSW and LCSW practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people with adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, and family of origin concerns.
Elizabeth uses a direct, collaborative style in sessions. She blends evidence-based and relational approaches and pays attention to bodily experience as part of emotional work. Conversations are practical and focused on specific patterns that keep causing pain or conflict.
Many clients come because they feel stuck in the same relationship roles or family patterns they learned growing up. Elizabeth talks through how those patterns show up now and helps people test different ways of relating. She also works with issues around identity, sexuality, and nontraditional relationship structures when relevant.
Sessions aim to build clearer understanding and practical skills. Elizabeth helps people notice triggers, name repeating behaviors, and try new communication or coping steps between meetings. She offers straightforward feedback and invites clients to shape the pace and focus.
Her background centers on combining relational perspectives with body-awareness techniques to address both feelings and somatic reactions. This mix is intended to help people manage symptoms like anxiety and depression while addressing the family and attachment patterns often at their root.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Elizabeth draws from evidence-based and relational techniques that include attachment-focused work and somatic awareness. Attachment-focused work looks at how early family relationships shape current ways of relating, and it helps people recognize repeating roles and expectations. Somatic awareness attends to bodily sensations tied to emotions, helping people notice physical signals and choose different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods, and then they will help decide what to emphasize in sessions. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between in-person visits and to practice communication or regulation skills in the context of everyday routines.
