Elizabeth Loring , LCSW

Elizabeth Loring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders such as depression, bringing a strengths-based perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story.

Elizabeth has developed experience supporting LGBTQ+ related concerns and matters connected to alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, as well as relationship configurations like polyamory and other non-monogamous arrangements. Her practice also attends to first responder issues, family of origin dynamics, substance use and recovery, and the emotional impacts of natural or human-caused disasters.

She approaches work with a focus on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers clients' resilience and resources while addressing guilt, shame, post-traumatic stress, self-harm behaviors, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. Elizabeth acknowledges that beginning therapy can require courage and recognizes the significance of that first step, offering supportive collaboration to help people move toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Support Delivered Remotely

Elizabeth Loring works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and trauma-responsive care. Skills-based coping strategies teach tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms by developing routines, relaxation methods, and problem-solving skills that can reduce everyday distress.

Trauma-informed interventions involve careful, paced processing of traumatic experiences while prioritizing safety and stabilization; these approaches aim to help people regain a sense of control and reduce symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and abuse. Elizabeth also applies focused strategies for addiction and substance-related concerns that emphasize relapse prevention, coping strategies, and support for recovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which evidence-based techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adjust methods over time and to build on their strengths.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, helping people engage in consistent care without the need for travel.
