About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Huntoon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with four decades of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and sleep difficulties. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on what a person needs now to feel safer and more rested.
Her work blends client-centered listening with concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses emotionally-focused approaches to help people navigate closeness and conflict, and mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind. These methods are used to address grief, trauma, addiction, anger, and self-esteem struggles as well as life transitions and caregiving stress.
Elizabeth brings long experience helping people with complex life issues such as immigration adjustment, adoption and foster care concerns, fertility and end-of-life matters. She has guided many through workplace strain, caregiver burden, and the loneliness that can come with major life changes. Her practice includes attention to multicultural concerns and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical steps. She helps clients name patterns, try small behavioral changes, and build routines that support better sleep and daily functioning. The approach is paced to the individual and aimed at steady, manageable progress.
Based in Massachusetts, Elizabeth works in English and draws on a long clinical history to tailor care to each person’s needs. She encourages straightforward conversation about goals and what will feel most helpful in therapy.
How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online therapy
Elizabeth often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to identify practical goals and steps. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk through stress, relationship worries, or sleep problems.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that get in the way of sleep, mood, or daily functioning. CBT offers clear exercises and small habit changes that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are central; it helps people recognize emotional responses and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as those needs change. This collaborative process helps pick strategies that feel doable and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework in the context of their daily routine, which can support better sleep and steadier coping.
