About Elizabeth
Elizabeth O'Malley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or difficult life changes. Elizabeth aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Over a decade of clinical experience informs her practical, straightforward approach. She supports people facing relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, and concerns related to trauma, grief, or addiction. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and issues linked to mood disorders including bipolar and depression.
Elizabeth often uses client-centered methods to follow each person's lead, and she draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shape unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy can be added when emotional regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
When working with parents she pays close attention to the needs of children who have moderate to severe mental health challenges and to the strain that caregiving can create. She also supports people navigating postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and blended family dynamics.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies. Elizabeth helps clients identify small, manageable steps they can take between meetings. Her intent is to empower people to regain a greater sense of control and move toward the life they want.
