How Lisbeth works
Lisbeth blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she often includes mindfulness practices. She adapts approaches to match each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single method for everyone. Her practice supports people coping with relationship strain, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She also works with concerns like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisbeth uses clear, practical steps to help people make changes that fit their life.
If someone is ready to start, she guides them through scheduling and beginning work together.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding you without judgment. The therapist follows your lead, helping you name priorities and decide what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches simple exercises to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisbeth will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try. That way therapy stays practical and tailored to the issues a person brings in, whether it is stress, relationship strain, or grief.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls provide a face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people keep momentum between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to get consistent help while juggling family, work, and other commitments.
