Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Elizabeth brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She holds LCPC, which is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, and LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington.
Her background includes focused practice with trauma, attachment concerns, and difficulties with distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. She helps clients set clear, achievable steps and practices skills between sessions.
Treatment often blends skill-building with exploration of past experiences that continue to affect daily life. People meet Elizabeth for a mix of short-term problem solving or longer-term change work. Her approach is warm and direct, aiming to make therapy understandable and useful.
She invites clients to test what works and adjust the plan as progress is made.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Elizabeth integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and letting the client guide the pace so goals emerge from the person's priorities. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are central concerns. DBT provides clear, teachable techniques for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches give both understanding and hands-on tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent with the work clients want to do.
