02

How Elizabeth works

Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as new ways of seeing old patterns. Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. She tailors the approach to the person in front of her, combining tools for thinking differently with gentle attention to emotions.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect a collaborative plan created together. Elizabeth listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals.

She checks in about what is and isn’t working and adjusts the plan over time. Based in New York, Elizabeth conducts sessions in English. Her approach is practical and compassionate, built on a decade of clinical work helping people navigate transitions and heal from difficult experiences.

Online support options

Approach and online session options

Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core ways to work with clients. ACT focuses on identifying values and accepting difficult emotions while taking small steps toward what matters. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in empathy and respect, letting clients set the pace. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, review results, and adjust the plan when needed.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people have a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text allow shorter check-ins or messaging between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and access licensed professionals from different locations.
