About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Underwood is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, and anger. Elizabeth also supports people facing career stress and major life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered work to listen and understand a person's concerns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical steps that change behavior. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she brings in to help with staying present and finding internal reasons to change.

Elizabeth pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. Narrative work is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to experiment with new ways of seeing those stories. She also addresses practical issues like caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, body image, and communication problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused. People leave with small steps they can try between meetings. Conversations often include skill practice, short experiments, and planning for difficult moments.

She works in English and practices in Florida. The first contact typically involves a brief matching process and scheduling a first session. Elizabeth encourages clear, direct conversations about goals and what someone wants to change.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel understood and clarify what matters to them, which can free up space for change in later work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. Online CBT sessions typically include setting concrete goals, identifying unhelpful thinking, and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking. Short guided exercises and breath work are common tools used to manage anger, anxiety, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans as required.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to carry over skills into real-life situations between sessions.
