Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-Centered methods keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in the room. Elizabeth pays attention to how the body and mind interact, and she includes mindfulness-based exercises to calm the nervous system.
She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, eating and body image, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Additional focuses include caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, isolation, and life purpose. Her background includes work with veteran and first responder issues and supporting people through major life transitions.
Elizabeth aims to create a practical plan each session so progress feels real and measurable. She keeps language simple and steps small to reduce overwhelm. Sessions are offered in English and provided from Illinois.
Elizabeth holds LCSW and LISW credentials and has helped people for over a decade. She encourages questions and a collaborative pace when starting therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-change decisions because it focuses on action rather than getting stuck on thoughts.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which helps with mood, stress, ADHD-related routines, and managing unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. She adapts strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels doable in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions or shorter text check-ins can fit into busy schedules or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can support quick reflections, homework, and progress notes between longer appointments.
