She has provided counseling for those coping with mood and anxiety disorders, substance use concerns, grief, and suicidal thoughts, and has facilitated groups that help participants realize they are not alone in their struggles.

Elizabeth has experience with individuals, couples, families, and older adults navigating life transitions, and she has worked in shelters as a crisis counselor.

Her practice emphasizes helping clients build practical tools and strategies to reach their goals using client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral methods.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Elizabeth employs client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a supportive space to explore values, goals, and emotions. This approach is helpful for people who want empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. For clients affected by trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused techniques designed to address the emotional and behavioral impacts of traumatic events and to build coping skills for daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to ensure therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support even when meeting in person is difficult.
