Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their feelings and values to find their own solutions - it is often helpful for people seeking empathetic support and personal growth. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-focused therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, making it useful for couples and individuals working on attachment and intimacy issues.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live far from in-person services. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different modes of communication, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
