She works with adults who are feeling stuck by low confidence, worry, or past trauma and guides them toward clearer next steps.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and centered on the clients priorities. Lisbeth brings three years of professional experience in clinical settings to her practice. That experience includes supporting people through family conflict, abuse and trauma, and ongoing health or pain concerns.

She also addresses panic, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation when those issues get in the way of daily life. Clients can expect clear goals and steps to follow between sessions. Lisbeth emphasizes building self-compassion and realistic skills for handling fear and stress.

She sees progress as practical change - better sleep, calmer reactions, or more confidence asserting needs. Her approach centers on collaboration. She helps people name what matters, choose workable techniques, and track small wins.

The work aims to empower clients to handle challenges more comfortably over time.

Approaches that help online for anxiety and trauma

Two common evidence-based approaches Lisbeth uses are skills-focused work and trauma-informed care. Skills-focused work teaches practical tools for managing panic, worry, and stress in day-to-day life, such as grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and behavioral steps to reduce avoidance. Trauma-informed care centers on safety and pacing while helping people process past hurt and lessen its hold on current behavior.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and goals with each person and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative, and adjustments are made based on what helps most as sessions progress.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options let people meet from wherever they are, keep appointments during busy weeks, and choose the format that matches their needs.
