How her approaches translate to online therapy

Elizabeth uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and validating a person’s experience while helping them find their own direction. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and building on what already works in a person’s life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go. The first sessions typically clarify priorities and test which techniques feel most helpful for your situation.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, work with clients to match the approach and scheduling to each person’s daily life.
