Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skill-building to change how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies to teach skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can be helpful for relationship struggles, anger, and mood instability.

Elizabeth is also trained and certified in EMDR, a trauma-focused approach that supports processing of distressing memories and their emotional impact. EMDR is often used when past events continue to affect current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
