Background and approach
It can also include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions begin by listening to the person’s story and priorities. From there she and the client build a plan with small, doable steps.
Motivational interviewing may be used to strengthen commitment, and mindfulness practices can help with anxiety and stress regulation. She also addresses problems like social anxiety, isolation and communication struggles. She helps people practice new ways of relating to others and to themselves, including cultivating more self-love and confidence.
Progress is paced to match each person’s comfort and goals. Elizabeth invites people to take the first step toward feeling better by joining a conversation about what matters most to them. She adapts her approach as needed and supports clients through life transitions and difficult moments.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to small actions that move them in that direction. It is useful when anxiety or stress make it hard to take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Elizabeth will listen to your situation, talk through goals, and adapt techniques to match what you want to work on. Together you can try different methods and pick what feels most helpful for coping, building skills, or making changes.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have a live, face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular contact between sessions.
