She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for sleep, anger, coping with life changes, and managing work or caregiver stress. Her work draws on several grounded approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking committed action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship patterns and attachments feel stuck. Elizabeth also addresses trauma, abuse, attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges, and co-occurring issues like bipolar symptoms or dissociation.
She pays attention to role strains such as blended family dynamics, caregiving burden, and communication or control problems. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. People who prefer straightforward, collaborative work that mixes emotional understanding with concrete tools may find her approach helpful.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and attachment wounds are central, helping people notice and change interaction cycles that cause hurt.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time so work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, while phone sessions can fit a short break or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework ideas, and ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
