About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Swift is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Elizabeth works with people who are trying to understand how their past keeps showing up now.
She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in session. Elizabeth listens for recurring family patterns and helps people see how those early roles and expectations shape current decisions and relationships. Conversations are aimed at identifying specific behaviors and building clear tools to manage intense feelings and urges.
Elizabeth uses body-centered methods alongside talk therapy. She includes techniques that help people notice where tension lives in the body and learn simple ways to calm their nervous system. Mindfulness practices and focused attention are taught in straightforward steps to reduce panic and social anxiety symptoms.
For people dealing with addiction or codependency, sessions include concrete strategies for coping with triggers and setting manageable boundaries. When family of origin issues are part of the picture, she helps clients map patterns like abandonment, caretaking roles, or expectations that repeat across relationships.
Sessions are conducted over video and phone, with brief text messaging limited to general questions. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Elizabeth integrates body-focused techniques that help a person notice physical tension and learn simple ways to reduce it. These methods can support people with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and general anxiety by offering grounding steps they can use in the moment.She also uses mindfulness-based practices which train focused attention and basic breath-based skills. These practices aim to decrease reactivity, improve awareness of triggers, and make it easier to follow through on chosen responses rather than reacting automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
Sessions are offered by video and by phone, with brief text used only for general questions. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits your routine. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work breaks, avoiding travel time, or choosing a quieter setting at home or work for focused discussion.
