About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Goodsite Bondy is a licensed professional counselor with LPC and LPCC credentials who brings 18 years of experience to her work in Wisconsin. She focuses on practical, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She also helps people managing ADHD, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or self-esteem challenges.
She believes people already carry strengths that matter. Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and turning them into usable skills.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at small, doable steps rather than big promises. Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are used to help people understand patterns, try new behaviors, and stay connected to what matters most to them.
Elizabeth also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when those fit a person’s needs. She adapts tools to fit real life - coping skills for overwhelm, communication practice for relationships, and routines for sleep or focus challenges. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and a pace set by their goals.
The first step is often a short plan for one or two immediate changes. Over time she helps people build habits that reduce distress and support daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and focus difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and connection, helping people improve communication and feel more supported in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan over time if something doesn’t help.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or attachment work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick coping reminders, journaling between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while working with licensed professionals who use evidence-informed approaches.
