Elizabeth Griffin , LMHC

Elizabeth Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience in private practice. She brings a warm, engaged listening style and a collaborative approach to therapy, partnering with each person to identify strengths, clarify what drives them, and develop practical solutions for the struggles they face.

Her work covers a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and marital and family conflict. She is compassionate and nonjudgmental, shaping the counseling process to meet the needs of each individual. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a central tool in her practice, and she combines that method with other counseling theories to create a tailored plan for healing and growth. For clients who wish to include their faith, she integrates a spiritual component when that perspective supports the client’s goals.

Elizabeth holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of South Carolina and master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and Education from Southwestern Seminary. Beyond formal training, she values life experience as an important source of insight and resilience. She aims to help people find greater maturity, renewed hope, and practical ways forward through life’s challenges.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Elizabeth Griffin often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, a practical approach that helps people recognize and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to problems like anxiety and depression. She also draws on marriage and family therapy principles to explore relational patterns and improve communication and connection among partners and family members. In addition, Elizabeth employs an integrative, client-centered approach that blends evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s unique needs and concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with communication styles. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and support continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
