As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Elizabeth brings professional credentials and clinical training to her work. The LCPC credential denotes clinical counseling qualification and the LMHC credential signifies licensure to provide mental health counseling; she holds these licenses in her practicing states.

Elizabeth emphasizes understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact to shape each person’s experience.

She expresses a genuine commitment to accompanying people on their journey to a renewed sense of self.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space that honors each person's values and goals. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening so clients feel heard while they set the direction for their work and identify meaningful objectives.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety and depression and helps build practical skills for everyday challenges. In addition, Elizabeth integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities - DBT teaches mindfulness, emotion management, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to better navigate intense feelings and relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth collaborates with clients to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, school, or caregiving commitments. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in ways that suit each person's life.
