About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shields is a licensed mental health counselor who practices with an attachment-based outlook. She prioritizes the relationship with each person she meets and works to build trust from the first sessions. Elizabeth keeps language plain and practical so people can focus on real problems and doable steps forward.
She favors a person-centered style that highlights strengths and values. Sessions usually involve talking through current stresses, patterns in close relationships, and small behavioral steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Elizabeth has four years of clinical experience and holds LMHC and LIMHP credentials. She mentions a holistic focus that looks at emotional, social, and practical parts of life rather than only symptoms.
Parents and caregivers may find her perspective especially understanding because she is the parent of a child with multiple disabilities and pays attention to caregiver stress. Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, sleep problems, stress, and coping with life changes.
She also works with people on career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and communication or commitment struggles. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled using an online matching process. Elizabeth frames therapy as a collaborative, ongoing conversation aimed at building coping skills, resilience, and clearer ways to handle everyday challenges.

Online support
Attachment-focused work and practical online therapy
Elizabeth often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy issues, communication problems, and abandonment concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their values, accept difficult feelings, and take action toward meaningful goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaborative decision. Together the therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what actually helps. That means sessions can shift between exploring relationship patterns and practicing specific behavioral experiments or mindfulness skills.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to stay connected between longer sessions or when a written check-in is preferred. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and try different formats to see what works best for them.
