About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Huntoon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with four decades of experience in psychotherapy. She works in Massachusetts and uses a thoughtful, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and addictions.
She draws on motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change and to support practical steps forward. She also uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions aim to be warm, direct, and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Elizabeth has long experience helping people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and mood disorders including bipolar. She has also helped those facing infertility, adoption and foster care challenges, immigration and cultural adaptation, and end-of-life and caregiver stress.
Her practice includes attention to multicultural concerns, LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, and isolation. The work often combines exploring feelings with practical exercises to change daily habits.
People can expect a warm, empathic presence and collaboration on goals. Elizabeth encourages clients to set manageable steps and to build skills that fit their lives. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches can work online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and set realistic next steps; it’s useful for habits, addictions, and making big life shifts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person fully and following their priorities so sessions feel supportive and nonjudgmental. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change daily routines and reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Expect to discuss both what you want to change and the small steps that can move you toward that goal.
The biography did not specify which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists and clients try practical exercises together and follow progress between meetings. Licensed professionals use their approaches to help clients make changes that fit their everyday life rather than promising any single outcome. -
