Elizabeth Snow, LICSW, LCSW

Elizabeth Snow is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience in social work and counseling. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family concerns. Elizabeth aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical steps forward.

Her approach is solution-focused and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals they want to reach. Sessions emphasize reflective listening, empathy, and practical strategies that fit a person’s life. Elizabeth also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address patterns of thinking that keep problems going.

She has experience helping people who struggle with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, impulse control, substance use, and process addictions. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, grief, work stress, self-esteem, and challenges common to young adults.

Elizabeth holds a District of Columbia LICSW and a Virginia LCSW and has worked in counseling and social work roles for a decade. She aims to respect each person’s pace and comfort level while guiding toward achievable change.

If someone is considering therapy, she invites them to start by sharing what matters most to them. The work begins with clear goals and small, manageable steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Elizabeth uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes a person’s experience and values. This means conversations stay focused on what matters to the client, with the therapist reflecting back concerns and helping clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small, practical behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide which techniques feel most useful over time.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most comfortable and what works with their schedule.
