About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Swift is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Elizabeth also lists life purpose among her focuses and works with concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.

She offers video and phone sessions, and uses brief text only for general questions. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Conversations move between talking, body-focused techniques, and practices that support nervous system regulation.

Her background includes steady work with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and people dealing with substance use and codependency. Elizabeth also addresses issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, and relationships shaped by narcissism. She lists experience with veterans and armed forces issues and with concerns common in women’s lives.

Practical tools are part of each meeting. Clients can expect grounding exercises, mindfulness practices, and body-awareness strategies to manage symptoms in daily life. Sessions also include time to plan steps for coping with transitions and purpose-seeking.

People who value a collaborative approach will find direct, concrete suggestions alongside processing of difficult experiences. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Approaches and how online sessions support change

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talking with body-focused work. One common approach she uses focuses on nervous system regulation and somatic practices; this helps people notice bodily signals and learn simple exercises to reduce panic and anxiety in daily life. Another approach involves mindfulness-based practices that teach present-moment attention and breathing exercises to manage stress and intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Elizabeth views treatment as collaborative and will discuss different techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She helps people try methods in session and assesses what feels most useful for managing symptoms or navigating life changes.

Sessions are offered by video and by phone, with brief text used only for general questions. Confirm the current session options before booking to match your schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can practice tools between appointments.
