Elizabeth Suraci

Elizabeth Suraci is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and depression. Elizabeth also works with people dealing with caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

She starts from the idea that each person knows their life best and brings strengths to difficult situations. In sessions she helps people name what feels stuck and looks for small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations are straightforward and paced to match what the person can manage.

Elizabeth often helps people untangle emotions like guilt, shame, and regret so they can make clearer choices. She supports people working through grief and loss and those facing addiction-related challenges. For someone handling caregiver strain, she offers ways to clarify boundaries and reduce burnout.

The work can include identifying immediate coping tools for panic and social anxiety. It can also shift to longer-term patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. Elizabeth invites clients to test ideas between sessions and brings attention back to what is most useful right now.

People who want to question what comes next in work or life can use sessions to sort priorities and values. Starting is done step by step, with attention to the person’s pace and current responsibilities.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. One common approach focuses on short-term coping tools for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and attention-shifting strategies that reduce acute distress and can be practiced between sessions. Another approach works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, helping them test small changes and evaluate real-world effects.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying a few methods and adjusting as progress and priorities become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commuting time, or use phone check-ins when a video call is not practical. Online work can let someone keep momentum after a major life change and maintain regular appointments around caregiving or work obligations.
