Therapist

Virtual • Bethesda, MD


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Maybe you’re successful in your career but struggling with relationships, perfectionism, self-doubt, or the pressure to keep everything together. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, trying to understand yourself more deeply, or noticing that old patterns are showing up in your relationships. I offer an individualized approach that draws from nearly 15 years of clinical experience with evidence based treatment work. My work incorporates ACT, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and Gottman couples work.

Elizabeth Williams

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


You might be someone who feels things deeply whether that shows up in your creativity, your work, your relationships, or the way you move through the world. On the outside, you may look like you’re managing, but internally it can feel like anxiety, overwhelm, or past experiences are always just under the surface.

  • I work especially well with creativesartists, musicians, actors—as well as individuals navigating nontraditional paths, including sex work. These spaces often come with unique pressures, emotional intensity, and a need for a therapist who is genuinely nonjudgmental and understands nuance.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, “too much,” or like traditional therapy hasn’t quite fit, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate that on your own.

I am here for you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Maryland

Searching for therapists in Maryland starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Maryland has a wide range of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available specialties can vary by location. You might look for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Maryland therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

Practical fit matters too. If you live near Baltimore, Annapolis, Silver Spring, or another part of Maryland, consider whether in-person sessions are easy to reach or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and what to expect in a first session.

The cost of therapy in Maryland can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Maryland therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
