Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Elizabeth draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client guides the conversation and explores personal insight and growth. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to mood and stress challenges. DBT provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Elizabeth collaborates with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts methods over time so the approach fits the client's evolving needs.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility by allowing therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities and can help clients maintain continuity of care across locations. Elizabeth uses these formats to provide consistent, client-focused support that adapts to each person's lifestyle and communication preferences.
