About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Nolen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 24 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her work also includes issues such as caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose.

She practices in a direct, interactive way that focuses on the person in front of her. Sessions typically draw on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. Mindfulness-based tools are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Elizabeth has spent many years working with people on relationship problems, including repairing trust and improving communication. She helps clients talk through how patterns developed and what small changes might improve daily interactions. She also addresses the emotional aftermath of trauma, including post-traumatic stress and shame-related concerns.

Her approach is respectful of each person's values and beliefs. Sessions are interactive rather than purely directive, and she works with people who want both practical strategies and reflective discussion. She frames change as incremental and focuses on skills that can be used between meetings.

Clients who choose to work with her typically want clear steps to manage symptoms and move forward after major life shifts. People should confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on listening with respect. In practice this means sessions center on what matters most to the person and decisions emerge from their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing, useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they check what works, adjust techniques, and set small, measurable steps to try between meetings.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows for practicing CBT exercises and mindfulness between sessions and reviewing progress in subsequent meetings. Clients should confirm which session formats are offered so they know how meetings are scheduled and conducted.
