About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Baumann is a licensed social worker who helps people move forward after painful experiences. She holds LCSW and LMSW credentials and has six years of clinical experience in Michigan. Elizabeth writes in a direct, supportive way and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She works with people who have experienced trauma, including sexual assault and relationship violence. She also supports those exploring sexuality and identity, and people dealing with self-esteem or relationship strain. Her approach centers on listening first, then building small changes that feel doable.

In sessions she uses trauma-focused therapy to address overwhelming memories and reactions. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how they affect current feelings. Conversations are intended to help clients understand what they need and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Elizabeth aims to create a calm pace and clear steps. She encourages questions and checks in about what is or isn’t working. People who want straightforward guidance and someone who will hold difficult experiences without minimizing them may find her style a good fit.

How trauma-focused and attachment work translates online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and reduce the power of painful memories and reactions. In plain terms this means slowing down distressing memories, learning ways to manage strong feelings, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm in daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape expectations and behavior now. It helps people see recurring patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and will adjust plans as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people choose a quieter setup, use phone-only check-ins when needed, or arrange times that fit around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and attachment-based practices for remote sessions while focusing on practical tools people can use between meetings.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
