Background and approach
She supports people dealing with prejudice, immigration challenges, and non-traditional relationship structures. She also has experience with first responder issues and end-of-life situations. Elizabeth combines talk-based support with problem-solving tools.
That can include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. It can also include skills from dialectical behavior therapy for managing emotions and improving relationships. She speaks English and Spanish, which helps when language and culture matter in a session.
Clients describe practical skill-building, clearer coping plans, and a steady, nonjudgmental presence during hard moments. Elizabeth aims to partner with each person so they leave sessions with something useful to try. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused, helping people take realistic steps toward feeling better and handling life’s demands.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Elizabeth draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to provide focused, skills-based sessions online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thought patterns that increase anxiety and stress, and it is often used to tackle depression, anxiety, and unhealthy coping habits. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills, which can help people manage intense feelings and improve interactions.Choosing the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past to decide which methods to try. That lets sessions stay practical and tailored as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are options for shorter check-ins, homework support, or checking progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work on coping skills from wherever someone can join.
