Attachment-Informed and Practical Online Therapy

Elizabeth often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship struggles. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that helps people feel heard and supported while they define their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, mood challenges, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so treatment stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, and they allow therapy to fit more naturally into daily life while still focusing on meaningful change.
