About Elisabeth

Dr. Elisabeth Robbins is a California-licensed therapist with a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy and 27 years of clinical experience. She practices as an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and brings a doctoral-level background in family systems to work with individuals and couples across the lifespan.

Her practice focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem and dependency issues, depression, stress and anxiety, grief, and the challenges of life transitions. She also provides support around family dynamics, caregiver stress, and end-of-life and hospice-related concerns, and she offers coaching to help clarify life purpose and increase self-love.

Dr. Robbins maintains a special interest in how mental health intersects with shame, spirituality, and responses to climate change, and she explores these themes in therapy when they are relevant to a client’s experience. Her approach is informed by a range of clinical methods aimed at helping people reframe narratives, identify practical coping strategies, and examine deeply held beliefs about self and relationships.

Her schedule is somewhat flexible, and she is open to arranging sessions outside stated office hours when possible. Dr. Robbins provides therapy in English and is based in California (CA LMFT 88583).

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and adjust thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress. It emphasizes concrete skills and practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Existential Therapy encourages exploration of meaning, values, and life purpose when clients face questions about identity, loss, or major life transitions; it supports confronting uncertainty and finding personal direction. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping clients reframe problem-saturated narratives and highlight strengths and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Robbins works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or on the go, and access therapists when life circumstances require adaptable scheduling.
