Approaches that guide online therapy sessions

Elizabeth often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person to lead the pace and direction of their own work. This approach helps when the priority is building self-understanding, confidence, and a stronger sense of what matters personally.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for people seeking concrete strategies and measurable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy is another option Elizabeth may integrate, teaching simple awareness practices that support stress management, emotional regulation, and greater presence in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to identify the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to connect from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity, fit therapy into a busy life, and try different formats to see what works best for each person.
