About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Dahlberg-Lee is a licensed professional counselor who uses a warm, person-centered approach to help people through hard times. She draws on 11 years of experience to guide those facing grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Elizabeth works in New Jersey and offers sessions in English for local and international clients.
She uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to each person. That may include talking through relationship struggles, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, or feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Many sessions focus on practical steps to manage day-to-day stress and rebuild self-esteem. Elizabeth blends Emotional Focused techniques with mindful practices to help people notice and regulate strong feelings. She also uses narrative methods to help clients make sense of painful experiences.
For trauma-related concerns she incorporates approaches aimed at reducing the hold of distressing memories. Her practice pays attention to life-stage issues such as pregnancy and postpartum transitions, aging and end-of-life planning, and midlife shifts in purpose or career. She also supports people dealing with family of origin wounds, abandonment, and codependency dynamics.
Sessions may include coaching-style conversations alongside deeper therapeutic work. Elizabeth emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she offers tools and feedback to reach them. Practical outcomes often include clearer priorities, calmer responses to stress, and better emotional connection to oneself.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or messaging.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and following each person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their goals and next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change patterns in how they respond to strong emotions. Online EFT sessions use conversation and guided exercises to shift how someone connects with their own feelings and with others. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for trauma that works on reducing the intensity of distressing memories; in remote work it can involve guided bilateral stimulation and structured processing in session.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include mixing approaches over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep contact consistent across locations.
