Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at finding practical steps that fit everyday life.
She listens actively and works with each person to identify strengths, patterns, and achievable goals. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building tools the client can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Elizabeth blends talk therapy with skill-building so people leave with concrete ways to cope. Elizabeth uses cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside other counseling theories to tailor the work to each person. She includes spiritual conversations when clients want that option, drawing on her own Christian faith while respecting each person’s beliefs.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and Education. Those degrees support a long career of helping people navigate life transitions and emotional struggles.
She often focuses on improving communication, managing mood, and restoring daily routines. Sessions are offered in English and provided remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
Elizabeth draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; this helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of coping. She also uses principles from family and marriage therapy training to improve communication and problem solving around relationship and parenting concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and daily life. Over the first few sessions she reviews what helps and adjusts the plan together so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for people who prefer written check-ins or need support between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a changing work routine.
