About Elizabeth

She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and related issues. Elizabeth describes her work as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She invites people to take the first steps toward a more satisfying life and offers support through that process.

Over three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Her practice also includes work on bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of attention include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and blended family concerns.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation, skill building, and examining patterns that keep people stuck.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people identify goals, practice new ways of coping, and address barriers to change. Sessions concentrate on present concerns and steps people can take between meetings.

How Elizabeth uses therapeutic approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying values and taking small committed steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and patterns. It can help people understand trust, intimacy, and attachment-related issues that appear in adult relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The work involves open conversation, reflective listening, and supporting the person to find their own solutions for problems like stress, grief, or low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to identify what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on different methods as needed and reviews progress as treatment continues.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so ask about available options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practice, and discussion to an online setting so therapy can fit into everyday life.
