About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Penelope Jacobo is a California-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and compassion fatigue. She combines attention to thoughts and behaviors with mindfulness skills to create practical strategies tailored to each person’s situation and goals.

Background and approach

Elizabeth uses a collaborative style to develop plans that fit individual needs and circumstances, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate support throughout the process. Her background includes experience addressing caregiver burnout, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life needs, and isolation or loneliness.

She is also familiar with mood disorders, panic and phobic conditions, postpartum depression, and finding life purpose after major transitions. With three years practicing as an LCSW in California, Elizabeth seeks to help clients make meaningful, sustainable changes while acknowledging that progress can take time and steady effort.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Elizabeth blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress, which can help with anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and many forms of stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation, grief processing, and coping with caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities change.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options provide flexibility for those who need real-time conversations or prefer written check-ins, helping clients access consistent support in ways that work for them.
