Background and approach

Lizbeth pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and helps clients untangle difficult relationship patterns. With twenty years of clinical experience in Michigan, she draws from several well-established approaches. Clients can expect a blend of cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps aimed at small, real changes.

The therapist-centered part of sessions stays warm and nonjudgmental while also offering clear strategies. Lizbeth helps people facing post-traumatic stress symptoms, financial stress, and women's issues by breaking concerns into manageable goals. She guides clients through grief and forgiveness work with steady pacing and practical exercises.

Wherever possible she prioritizes skills people can use between sessions. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what the client most needs right now. Lizbeth supports clients in building resilience and clearer communication so they can move forward with more confidence.

How specific approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with big life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, social fears, and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try tools from these approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist collaborate on which strategies to keep and which to change as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and practicing new skills. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
