She focuses on self-esteem, communication struggles, life purpose, and identity questions. Elisabeth brings 25 years of practice to sessions and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
Her work often centers on attachment issues and how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how people connect, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person's goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are added when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Elisabeth has experience supporting people with trauma, addiction, bipolar concerns, and emotional overwhelm. She also addresses more specific topics like body image, codependency, commitment worries, dissociation, and compassion fatigue.
She is comfortable talking through alternative relationship structures and kink-related concerns as part of broader identity and intimacy work. In sessions she aims to be direct and compassionate. Conversations focus on practical steps alongside processing feelings.
Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection, and tangible skills to try between sessions. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Florida. Therapy can be scheduled in ways that fit a client’s life, including phone or video conversations and text-based options.

How Elisabeth Uses Attachment and Skills Work Online
Elisabeth uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how people form bonds and patterns that affect relationships today. This approach helps identify repeating dynamics and supports building new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person’s goals at the center of the work and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when skill-building around thoughts and behaviors is needed, such as managing anxiety or changing unhelpful routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on understanding the client’s priorities, trying different techniques, and adjusting the plan to match what is helpful. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use and when to shift emphasis.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more visual connection for relationship work. Phone calls are useful when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text can support quick check-ins, coaching-style reminders, or shorter check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
