About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Carter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 32 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and the fallout from trauma. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment strategies to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, doable steps you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. Elizabeth pays attention to life tasks that often make things harder, like parenting demands, caregiving, work stress, and sleep problems. She also addresses struggles with addiction, body image, intimacy, and grief.
When other issues come up, she connects them to the goals you name in session so the work stays relevant and manageable. Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first, then suggests a plan you both agree on.
Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what changes are helping. People who choose her tend to be looking for practical coping tools, clearer relationships, and steadier moods. She supports international clients in English and offers multiple online formats to fit busy lives.
Approaches you can use online with a licensed counselor
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take small actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then practices specific strategies to change those patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating struggles.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper, therapy-style conversations; phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
