Background and approach

Conversations stay focused on what feels most important to the client and on steps that can be tried between sessions. Elizabeth uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on motivational interviewing to build the drive needed for behavior change, especially around substance use and process addictions.

Many clients come with concerns such as trauma, family conflict, relationship strain, grief, or workplace stress. She also supports people working through issues like codependency, impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and self-esteem struggles. The work often blends practical skill-building with a chance to reframe personal stories.

Sessions can include reflective listening, skill practice, and short-term action plans. Elizabeth aims to collaborate with each person on what feels most helpful and doable. The focus is on steady progress and on building tools that fit daily life.

Online support

How Elizabeth’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It helps when someone needs to be heard and wants to shape goals at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. It suits issues like anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD symptoms where concrete tools can reduce distress.

Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change but feel stuck. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and plan steps toward change, which is often helpful for substance use and process addictions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals, try a few methods, and adjust as needed. She treats therapy as a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth; live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people stay consistent with the work while using the format that best matches their routine and comfort.
