About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kester is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, trauma, anger, mood concerns, and low self-esteem. Elizabeth emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based outlook and encourages clients to take the first step toward change.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take action that matches what matters to them.
How Elizabeth works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping when feelings become overwhelming. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Elizabeth also draws on motivational interviewing to build momentum for change and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to center on small, manageable steps rather than long lectures. She aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant to everyday life. People who come for help can expect a collaborative tone.
Elizabeth invites clients to identify priorities and then crafts simple plans to address them. She highlights strengths and practical tools alongside processing painful experiences. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose committed steps forward, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, such as breath-based grounding and interpersonal techniques useful during stressful moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing painful memories through structured sessions; when used online it follows the same phased process for safety and pacing.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend one or a mix of methods. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or practice skills between meetings. These options help fit therapy into real life and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
