Elizabeth Feagin

Elizabeth Feagin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. She spent 15 years working at the VA and has focused on mental health and substance use issues. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction concerns. Her approach is direct and practical. She uses client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Elizabeth uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change, especially around drug and alcohol use. She also applies solution-focused work to help people notice small shifts that lead to clearer next steps. These approaches are useful for mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and isolation. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, setting specific goals, and trying out new coping strategies between meetings. She helps people consider their life purpose and make practical adjustments rather than offering abstract advice. Her background at the VA informs how she talks about veteran and armed forces issues, trauma, and PTSD. The focus is on workable strategies and realistic steps for everyday life. People who want a straightforward, goal-oriented approach may find this style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach emphasize being heard, clarifying goals, and shaping the work around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful patterns, trying practical experiments between meetings, and tracking small changes that affect mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what is helping and shifting strategies if needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can be helpful for fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, or making shorter check-ins easier to schedule. They can also make it simpler to focus on practical skills and homework between meetings, while keeping the collaboration and goal-setting consistent with in-person work.
