About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Black is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. She works with concerns around relationships, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with panic or intense emotions. Elizabeth aims to make starting therapy less scary by building a real connection first.
Her style is relaxed and focused on the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and relational, but she also offers direct feedback when it helps.
Background and approach
She listens to each client's story and gently challenges unhelpful thoughts or patterns to make room for change. Elizabeth uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address anxiety, panic, and negative self-talk. She also incorporates client-centered and narrative approaches to help people make meaning from life events and family history.
Motivational interviewing helps clients find internal reasons to change when they feel stuck. She earned a master’s degree in counseling and has seven years of experience. Elizabeth has worked with people facing grief, family problems, communication difficulties, and identity or life-purpose questions.
She is particularly interested in supporting young adults as they navigate transitions. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life. Elizabeth suggests exercises, thought experiments, and brief check-ins between sessions when that suits a client’s needs.
Her aim is to help people notice progress and build coping skills that last.
Using Evidence-Based Methods Online
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds a trusting connection that supports change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be a quick check-in or a flexible option during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
