How Elizabeth’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It involves empathic conversation and practical problem solving to help someone feel heard and make choices that match their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for depression and anxiety.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured method to process traumatic memories. It reduces the intensity of distressing memories so people can think about them without becoming overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. That collaborative process can blend talk, skills practice, and trauma-focused steps as appropriate.

Online work can make it easier to keep appointments, manage short check-ins between responsibilities, and use tools like guided exercises or calming practices from home.
