Online support

How her approaches work in online sessions

Elizabeth uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace; it helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and small behaviors that keep problems going; CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many stress-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Elizabeth will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Together they set practical goals and try steps in between sessions to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see nonverbal cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to send updates, get brief guidance, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health schedules while keeping continuity of care.
