Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Elizabeth McKenzie
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to place the individual’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a warm, empathetic space that helps people explore feelings, gain self-understanding, and build self-acceptance. This approach is particularly helpful for those seeking support with identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, evidence-informed method that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday challenges where shifting thoughts and actions can reduce distress.
When trauma is central to someone’s difficulties, Elizabeth integrates trauma-focused techniques to carefully address overwhelming memories and reactions, supporting gradual processing and coping. Determining the best combination of approaches is a collaborative process - Elizabeth works with each person to tailor therapy to their needs, goals and preferences so the chosen methods fit the individual rather than the other way around.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for fitting sessions into busy lives, managing mobility or travel limits, and maintaining continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide focused, responsive support in ways that suit different lifestyles and communication preferences.
