Elisabeth "Lis" Werth , LMFT

Elisabeth "Lis" Werth is a California-licensed LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - with three years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges. She has worked with clients on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, coping with life changes, and difficulties with concentration, memory, and focus. Her practice also addresses issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, and family dynamics, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques matched to each person’s needs.

Werth approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring that each person is the expert on their own story and already possesses resources to help navigate change. She helps clients identify those strengths, build practical coping strategies, and explore patterns that may be getting in the way of goals or well-being. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting; Werth frames that step as an act of courage and offers supportive guidance throughout the process.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Werth uses focused, evidence-based techniques that help people build practical skills for everyday challenges. One common emphasis is skills-based work for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and attention strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve concentration so clients can navigate daily demands more effectively. Another area of focus is relational and attachment-informed work, which explores patterns in relationships, attachment wounds, and communication habits to help clients strengthen connections and set healthier boundaries. These approaches are applied in ways that match each person’s circumstances and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Werth collaborates with clients to determine what fits best. Together they assess needs, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays aligned with the client’s priorities and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking care. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation and shared work even when schedules or locations make in-person meetings difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to check in, process moments between sessions, and receive ongoing support. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to build consistency into the therapeutic process.
