Background and approach
During that time she has guided people through big life changes and moments that feel stuck or confusing. Her work often includes straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce worry and improve mood. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable actions toward them.
Motivational interviewing shapes conversations when someone wants more motivation or clearer next steps. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Expect a blend of talking, practical exercises, and short home practices you can try between meetings.
Elizabeth will adapt pacing and techniques to fit how each person learns and grows. People come for help with communication problems, loneliness, social anxiety, and building more self-love. The overall goal is to increase day-to-day coping and create small changes that add up to better functioning and more satisfying relationships.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building actions that match a person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often involves short between-session tasks to practice new ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and supports them through empathic listening and reflection so they can find their own solutions.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels like the best fit based on problems, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change, and sessions will be adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or quick problem-solving between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity when schedules change.
