Elizabeth Racicot

Elizabeth Racicot is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with 20 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work includes supporting those who are wrestling with questions of life purpose and the emotional aftermath of transitions.

Racicot favors a measured, practical style that focuses on concrete steps. She listens for what feels most helpful and then works with clients on skills and strategies they can use between sessions. That may include communication tools, ways to manage mood and stress, and approaches to cope with loneliness or family-related strains.

She has particular experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family tensions, and feelings tied to abandonment. She also supports people dealing with perinatal mood changes, seasonal affective shifts, and the unique stresses that come with hospice or end-of-life situations.

Outside of clinical work she identifies as a parent and active member of her faith community, and she enjoys crafting, camping, and family time with pets. That personal side informs a down-to-earth approach to problem solving in sessions. Clients can expect straightforward conversation focused on next steps rather than abstract theory.

To begin a working relationship she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and short-term strategies. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, manageable actions to lift mood and increase engagement in meaningful activities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because appointments can be scheduled without travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to arrange, or phone-based options when camera use is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about practical needs and which format would best support regular attendance.
