About Elisabeth
Elisabeth "Lis" Werth welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She aims to create a calm, direct space where clients can talk through anxiety, stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life changes. Lis is a licensed marriage and family therapist with three years of professional experience in California.
She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Sessions often center on improving concentration, coping skills, motivation, and confidence.
How Elisabeth works
Lis also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictive behaviors, and mood challenges. Her background includes work with concerns related to ADHD, compulsive behaviors, attachment and abandonment worries, and issues around identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. She helps people navigate non-monogamous relationship dynamics, codependency, and conflict around commitment and control.
Lis believes clients know their own stories and brings a collaborative, respectful style to sessions. She listens for strengths and builds goals together, pacing the work to match each persons needs. Her approach aims to turn small, manageable changes into clearer direction and more emotional safety.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations and concrete tools to try between sessions. She works with each person to set priorities, address shame or guilt, and reduce the daily burdens that make life feel harder than it needs to be.

Online support options
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Evidence-based methods focus on learning practical skills and shifting patterns that cause suffering. One approach emphasizes building concrete coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and attention difficulties, helping people manage day-to-day symptoms and improve concentration. Another approach targets relationship and attachment concerns by identifying interaction patterns, improving communication, and reducing cycles of blame or withdrawal. These approaches aim to make changes that feel helpful in ordinary life, such as calmer conversations and better routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That could mean trying a skill-focused strategy for concentration first, then shifting to deeper work on attachment or trauma as things settle. The plan is adjusted together over time.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and hold more interactive sessions, while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or for people who prefer not to use video. These formats make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into work, family, and travel routines.
