Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth Lachendro uses a mix of therapeutic approaches designed to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and build self-esteem while guiding decisions about relationships and life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related avoidance, and persistent stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best align with an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and continuity of care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can maintain regular contact, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These flexible options make it easier to prioritize mental health from different locations and life circumstances while working toward measurable, meaningful change.
