About Elisabeth
Elisabeth "Lis" Werth is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She keeps sessions direct and practical so clients can use what they learn right away. Lis treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on their strengths.
She offers straightforward support for relationship struggles and low self-esteem. Lis also helps people cope with life changes, grief, anger, and symptoms that make daily focus and motivation harder.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to ADHD-related challenges, addictions, and trauma and abuse concerns. With three years of professional experience, Lis emphasizes collaboration. She listens to goals, points out patterns that get in the way, and tries small, useful changes that fit into everyday life.
Sessions are paced to what feels manageable for the client. Lis brings practical help for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and commitment worries. She also addresses control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and struggles around gender dysphoria and non-monogamous relationships.
People who choose Lis often want clear, usable strategies for coping and change. She supports clients working through obsessive or compulsive behaviors, mood shifts, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Her approach is steady and centered on the client's priorities.
Approaches that guide online work and practical support
Lis uses evidence-based techniques focused on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new responses; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing what people do after they notice a thought. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people understand how old responses affect current connections and offering new ways to communicate and set boundaries.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lis will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust strategies as progress is made. The plan grows from what the client wants to change and what feels doable in daily life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work visually and practice new skills together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get ongoing feedback and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to connect consistently and to use therapy in ways that match a person's schedule and comfort.
