Elizabeth Suraci, LPC

Elizabeth Suraci is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Connecticut. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths. Elizabeth says taking the first step to change takes real courage, and she aims to support people through that process.

She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps individuals managing caregiver stress, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood disorders are areas she addresses as well.

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, working with clients to build practical skills and clearer perspectives. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, aimed at helping people make tangible changes in daily life. The therapist centers clients' own knowledge about their lives when setting goals.

Over her career she has supported people through both sudden losses and long-term stressors, helping them reduce distress and regain focus. She encourages small steps that add up, such as skill practice between sessions and clearer problem-solving strategies.

People who prefer a collaborative, strengths-focused approach may find her style helpful. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and cope with difficult emotions. Cognitive and behavioral methods focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These approaches are practical and often include simple exercises to practice between sessions.

Other helpful techniques draw on problem-solving and emotion-regulation strategies. Those approaches emphasize clear steps for handling stress, managing panic symptoms, and reducing the impact of isolation. Work often includes setting small goals and reviewing what helped or didn’t work the week before.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and what feels doable. That process may involve trying something for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it’s working.

The online format can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Sessions are structured to help people practice new skills and bring those changes into everyday routines.
