Elisabeth Burn , LMHC

Elisabeth Burn is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with ten years of experience in community mental health. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, coping with life changes, or facing relationship and parenting challenges. Elisabeth also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, addictions, and concerns related to identity and intimacy.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Elisabeth avoids stigmatizing labels and works from a strengths-based stance to help people move forward.

In sessions she combines practical strategies with open listening. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way. She integrates dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation and Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals.

Elisabeth also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools into the work. Mindfulness exercises can help calm anxious thoughts. Motivational interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change behaviors that are holding them back.

She tailors the pace and plan to each person. That might mean skills practice one week and exploring a painful memory the next. Elisabeth aims to help people build coping skills, repair relationships where possible, and find clearer direction in their lives.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Elisabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for high-intensity feelings. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, keeping the client's goals at the center of the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Elisabeth collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-focused plan for several weeks or shifting toward deeper exploration as trust grows.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
