About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Underwood is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictive behaviors. Elizabeth aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming by offering calm, steady support.
Elizabeth creates a warm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person and on small steps that can make daily life easier.
How Elizabeth works
Her background includes many years working with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, body image concerns, chronic pain or illness, and struggles with anger or sleep. Career changes and life transitions are part of her regular caseload as well.
Elizabeth draws from client-centered therapy to center the person's experience. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when clients want practical strategies for staying present and finding motivation.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect clear goals, check-ins on progress, and tools to practice between sessions. Elizabeth aims to help people feel more capable and more in control of everyday challenges.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead, which helps build trust and clarify goals. This approach suits people who want a warm, respectful space to sort out feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and homework that work well over video or messaging and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce rumination and ease stress, often through short practices that fit into a daily routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They can try different methods and adjust based on what helps most, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options support consistent contact and practical application of skills learned in sessions.
