About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults on a range of concerns. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, focusing on real-life steps people can try between sessions.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, body image and self-esteem struggles, and difficulties with sleep or eating.
How Elizabeth works
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and aging or geriatric matters. Her approach centers on the client and their goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Sessions typically include practical strategies, symptom management, and skills practice tailored to what a person wants to change. Elizabeth aims to build clear, achievable plans with each client. She uses coaching elements when helpful and works on both short-term coping and longer-term life changes.
Conversations are geared toward actionable steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skill teaching, and collaborative problem-solving. The work often covers communication, coping with loss or trauma, reducing substance use, and improving daily routines.
Progress is measured by whether the person’s life feels more manageable and fulfilling over time.

Online support options
How these approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a supportive space where the client sets the pace and goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different techniques, and adapt methods based on what feels helpful. Many people use a mix of approaches so sessions can include skills practice, values work, or guided conversation depending on needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that fit different situations. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send brief updates, get coaching between sessions, or do written exercises when talking is hard. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when travel or scheduling is a barrier.
