About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Underwood is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and guiding those facing addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and grief. Elizabeth aims to make first steps toward change feel doable and steady for worried individuals.
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods that help people talk through problems and build coping skills. Sessions are conversational and client-focused, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines that affect mood and stress.
Background and approach
Clients can expect clear tools to try between meetings and gentle reflection on what’s working. Elizabeth often combines problem-solving techniques with mindfulness practices to reduce worrying and improve sleep. She also draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe painful experiences and regain a sense of personal agency.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding momentum to make a change. Her work covers a wide range of life pressures including career stress, caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, and isolation. She pays attention to attachment issues, body image concerns, and guilt or shame that can follow trauma.
The aim is practical relief and clearer next steps, not quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and accommodate different formats like video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Elizabeth supports each person in figuring out small, realistic changes that add up over time.
Approach and online options for anxiety and life stress
Elizabeth blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel heard so they can explore difficult feelings. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce worry, manage mood, and improve sleep.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and reduce rumination. These methods are often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with trauma. Together, these approaches help create steps clients can try between sessions rather than relying only on talk.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Clients and the therapist adapt the approach over time to match changing needs and to focus on what brings the most relief.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with limited bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiver duties, or medical appointments while keeping continuity of care.
