She listens for patterns such as abandonment, attachment trouble, or recurring communication problems, and then works with clients to develop alternatives that fit their lives.
In practice she aims for direct, concrete conversations. Expect to set short-term goals, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time. Sessions often include practical exercises and verbal coaching to try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that increase anger or anxiety. CBT involves noticing thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses to see what changes in daily life.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck about making changes. That method focuses on clarifying your own reasons for change and building small steps that feel doable. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as short-term goal setting and practical actions to try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to choose approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts methods if something isn’t working.
