About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lee is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel anxious, depressed, angry, or stuck in difficult relationships. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical steps that people can use right away to feel better.
She pays attention to life patterns and brings those patterns into view so people can learn from them. Some patterns are habits to change; others are hidden strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Elizabeth often suggests ways to turn painful experiences into sources of resilience by reframing how they are understood. Communication skills are a regular focus in her work. She teaches clear, usable techniques clients can apply at home, at work, and in personal relationships.
Elizabeth combines attention to past relationships with action in the present so change happens sooner. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a California LMFT license earned in 1998. Over two decades she has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting challenges among other issues.
Elizabeth adapts her approach to each person and considers mind, body, and spirit in treatment. She aims for straightforward collaboration, helping people set realistic goals and try small steps that add up to lasting change.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Elizabeth uses a mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. One common element is helping people recognize and change life patterns that cause repeated problems; this involves looking at past relationships and current behaviors to identify small, practical changes that improve daily life. Another frequent focus is teaching communication skills - clear tools for expressing needs, setting boundaries, and resolving conflict that can help reduce tension at home and work.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction similar to office visits. Phone sessions can work when a session needs less bandwidth or a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates or ask questions between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
