Background and approach
Across 22 years in the field she worked as a master counselor and later as a licensed counselor in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. That work included crisis counseling in shelters, group facilitation, and support for people dealing with trauma, depression, and substance use concerns. Elizabeth uses client-centered methods to meet people where they are.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-focused and motivational strategies steer sessions toward concrete goals and steps. She has experience supporting people after domestic violence, sexual assault, and other traumatic events, as well as those facing grief, relationship stress, and life transitions.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, PTSD symptoms, and addiction-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Elizabeth emphasizes practical strategies and collaborates with each person to tailor a plan that fits their situation and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people facing anxiety and stress. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead, focusing on what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also uses motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. These approaches are practical and goal oriented, useful for challenges like anxiety, trauma reactions, mood shifts, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative planning can adjust over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports real-time typed conversation, and text messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and make it simpler to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
