Elizabeth Brennan is a Michigan-licensed Master Social Worker who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She has worked across a range of therapeutic settings, including direct care, assessment and diagnosis, case management, and individual therapy, and she also volunteered with a non-profit focused on art and community development from 2011 to 2015.
Originally from San Diego, Elizabeth moved to Michigan in 2007 to complete undergraduate studies in Social Work and Fine Art. She later relocated to Indiana in 2015 and finished her master’s degree in 2017.
Her clinical work addresses a broad range of concerns. Areas of focus include LGBT-affirming care, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, and ADHD. She also supports neurodiverse family systems and individuals with intellectual, developmental, or learning differences.
Elizabeth approaches therapy with patience and a commitment to creating a safe, respectful space where people can process difficult experiences and pursue a fuller, more satisfying life. She values creativity as a healing tool and encourages clients to explore self-expression, personal strengths, and emotional wellness while she offers steady support and practical strategies.
Outside of her clinical work, Elizabeth creates pottery and watercolor paintings and enjoys cooking, gardening, fermenting kombucha and kimchi, caring for succulents, and traveling. She looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to take steps toward positive change and greater connection to what matters most to them.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most situations.
One major benefit is the flexibility it offers - individuals can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.
All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical route to addressing common mental health concerns and life challenges.
