About Elisabeth
Elisabeth Burn is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience from community mental health settings. Elisabeth focuses on clear, practical work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and grounded in listening first. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers each conversation on a person’s strengths and goals.
Elisabeth uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Background and approach
She blends these methods to fit what a person needs in the moment, turning skills into small, usable steps for everyday life. She has experience with trauma, domestic violence, perinatal and postnatal mood challenges, and a wide range of life changes. Elisabeth also supports people facing issues such as grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career stress.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools and clearer choices. That can mean learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, building better communication, or practicing distress-management strategies. Elisabeth works with each person to set the pace and priorities for therapy.
If someone is ready to try therapy, she offers a collaborative space to explore next steps and build skills for lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Elisabeth often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT gives practical steps to change how problems are handled day to day.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. DBT skills can help when feelings run high or when relationships feel reactive and unstable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisabeth collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in, get brief coaching, or continue work between longer sessions, which adds flexibility for busy days and shifting schedules.
