About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Huntoon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 40 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and trauma and abuse. Beth also works with grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address feelings that are hard to name and the patterns they create. Sessions aim to help people identify emotional responses, understand how those responses affect relationships and daily life, and practice different ways of responding. Mindfulness and Jungian ideas may be woven in when they fit the person's needs.
Elizabeth has also supported people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, infertility, immigration and cultural adaptation, caregiver stress, aging and end-of-life matters. She has experience helping those facing isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness issues, and coping after disasters. She brings long experience working with multicultural concerns.
In sessions she tends to listen carefully and reflect what she hears. Work often includes naming emotions, tracing how those emotions link to behavior, and trying small changes in thinking or interaction. For some people this looks like learning new ways to talk about feelings; for others it is adjusting daily habits that affect sleep, eating, or stress.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Elizabeth often works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and naming feelings that drive behavior and relationship patterns. EFT can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want to change how they respond to one another.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That means the plan can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier because it can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use sessions when they need to focus on sleep, eating, or stress patterns tied to daily routines.
