I feel Elizabeth is a great therapist and she makes it very easy to talk to and her thoughts on some of the stuff I'm going though and things she explains have shown me new ways to see things and a big one is MAGNIFICATION OR MINIMIZATION. I had no idea I was doing this and it was thanks to her that I was able to. So thank you again Elizabeth Lucarelli, I really appreciate the help that you've given so far.

More about Elizabeth
- 19 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LMSW, LISW
I am an independently licensed clinical social worker (LCSW in Florida and LMSW-Clinical and Macro in Michigan) with over 19 years of professional experience. I specialize in working with both individuals and families, as well as macro-level systems and teams. My extensive experience spans the entire continuum of life, from birth to death, providing mental health diagnosis, treatment planning, brief interventions, and ongoing psychotherapy.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home environments. I have dedicated 11+ years to supporting veterans and their caregivers/families, guiding them from the transition from active duty through end-of-life care. Additionally, I have specialized training in crisis intervention, adolescent treatment, and child welfare concerns.
My clinical approach is solution-focused, aimed at helping clients build a robust "toolbox" of coping skills and mindfulness exercises to navigate our challenging world. I assist clients with issues such as depression, adjustment to illness, stress, anxiety, and coping with grief and loss. My goal is to help clients manage life's changes and challenges effectively.
I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I aim to provide a space where clients feel supported and empowered. My approach is to start where my clients are and help them work towards their identified goals. I offer empathy, support, guidance, and a listening ear, helping clients develop the tools needed to cope with life's stressors.
Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and strength. I am here to support you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Elizabeth is very knowledgeable, always has several strategies for improvement, and makes you feel heard. It's hard to know what to expect out of therapy, but it definitely has helped me.
My first therapist from betterhelp didn't fit my needs very well and I was in a very dark place mentally so i was about ready to give up, but I switched to Elizabeth and she saved me. Our first meeting made me feel SO much better because it felt like she actually cared about me, she asked lots of questions and she listens well, and I appreciate that she will catch me if she thinks I'm just saying what she wants to hear. I can't express enough how much she has helped me even though weve only had 3 meetings so far. Thank you ♥
Very calming and comforting. A great listener and extremely validating while I work through trauma
Elizabeth has been excellent to talk with. She is very respectful, warm and professional. She is very clearly passionate about her work, as she has many resources and recommendations for various things I’ve been dealing with. She made me feel comfortable and explained her approach from the start. She continues to listen and provide dedicated, non-judgemental support and guidance each session, while keeping my goals in mind. She is a terrific therapist.
Elizabeth is one of the most knowledgeable, warm, supportive, helpful therapists I have ever come into contact with in my life - and I've come into contact with a lot! I cannot express how grateful I am to have found her. I truly feel like she is an angel. I have recommended multiple friends to her already. THANK YOU for connecting us!
