About Elsbeth Riemer

Elsbeth Riemer begins therapy from a foundation of radical acceptance combined with a family-systems perspective. She centers work on how individuals function within their relationships and life systems, drawing on extensive training in anxiety, trauma, and family therapy to address fears, phobias, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Her practice emphasizes experiential resilience - practical strategies and exercises designed to reduce fear responses and build coping capacity. She attends to the whole person, recognizing how biological and physiological processes shape emotional experience and behavior. Humor is an intentional tool in her work, used to foster connection and ease engagement while exploring difficult material. She brings two decades of clinical experience to clients in Massachusetts and is licensed as an LMHC and an LMFT - LMHC meaning Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LMFT meaning Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflect her training in individual and relational approaches to care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Elsbeth Riemer integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships - it helps people address relationship stress, attachment wounds, and difficulties forming secure bonds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - it creates space for clients to explore values, identity, and life decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elsbeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Elsbeth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual concerns.
