Approaches that Translate to Online Care

Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the individual’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach supports self-exploration, relationship concerns, and identity questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily functioning challenges. Mindfulness-informed techniques are also used to increase present-moment awareness and stress management, supporting coping with emotions and urges related to addiction or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to select and tailor methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels relevant and achievable. She adapts techniques to fit individual circumstances and evolves the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Elizabeth offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can fit care into busy lives or access support from different locations. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and reach licensed professionals when in-person visits are not feasible.
