Elizabeth Moonan, LCSW

Elizabeth Moonan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Virginia with nine years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to be warm and respectful while focusing on practical steps the client can take.

Moonan uses a mix of cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, and person-centered work. Sessions are interactive and tailored to each person's needs. She talks through coping skills, problem solving, and ways to manage mood and cravings in everyday life.

Whole health matters in her practice. She sees therapy as one part of recovery and wellness that can include medication, community supports, and nutrition. She encourages clients to consider these other pieces alongside talk therapy when appropriate.

Her style is empathetic and compassionate with a focus on building a sense of belonging. Conversations aim to reduce isolation and help people reconnect with their priorities and values. Practical steps and small goals are emphasized so progress feels clear.

Moonan recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and focuses on empowering people as they work toward changes. Her background in clinical social work informs a respectful, client-centered way of working that adjusts as needs shift.

Therapeutic approaches and online care choices

Moonan draws from cognitive-behavioral work to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related habits because it focuses on clear skills and steps.

She also uses person-centered and strengths-based ideas to support clients in a respectful, collaborative way. That means sessions start from your goals and existing resources, and build on what is already working in your life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and practical.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Online work can make check-ins simpler on a short break, reduce travel time, and let people use strategies learned in therapy in their usual surroundings. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking to make sure they fit your needs.
