How Elizabeth works
The aim is to reduce immediate distress and build steady coping skills people can use between appointments. Her work draws on attachment ideas and client-centered listening to make people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
Mindfulness practices bring attention back to the present and reduce reactivity. Elizabeth also uses existential and narrative approaches to help people find meaning after loss or upheaval. She helps parents manage the stress of caregiving and supports people working through relationship and family of origin issues.
She has focused experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and first responder concerns. Her background includes roles as a counselor, supervisor, researcher, and professor. That blend of practical and academic work shapes a thoughtful, evidence-informed practice.
Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Elizabeth uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotional life and attachment patterns. In sessions this looks like exploring how early bonds influence current reactions and building more supported ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, step-by-step exercises, which helps with anxiety, mood struggles, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to calm the body and mind, useful for reducing reactivity and improving focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting what’s used based on how well it helps.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit a break during a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, processing between sessions, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into real life.
