About Elisabeth
Elisabeth "Lis" Werth greets people with a straightforward, supportive approach. She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Lis encourages small steps and offers calm guidance for parents and adults facing everyday pressures.
Her tone is practical and warm, aimed at someone reading on a phone and needing clear next steps. Lis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - practicing in California with three years of experience.
Background and approach
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns like ADHD, addictions, relationship difficulties, and issues around identity and sexuality. In sessions she focuses on concrete problems and simple, usable strategies.
Conversations look at what is getting in the way now and what changes would make daily life easier. Lis aims to strengthen coping skills, boost confidence, and restore a sense of control after big life changes or losses. She can talk through patterns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, control or commitment issues, and dissociation.
Other areas she addresses include obsessive-compulsive behaviors, impulsivity, mood challenges, and questions of life purpose. Lis outlines goals together with each person and tracks small, practical steps toward them. Therapy is offered in English and is available to people in California as well as international clients.
Sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.
Practical approaches for online support
Lis commonly uses focused, evidence-based techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping. One approach centers on identifying problem behaviors and replacing them with clearer routines and skills to reduce anxiety and improve concentration. This method helps with stress, ADHD-related challenges, and daily functioning. Another approach works on understanding attachment and relational patterns to reduce conflict and build more stable connections. It helps when trust, boundaries, or repeated relationship cycles cause distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what actually works for the person.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, try shorter check-ins, or follow up between full sessions. The flexibility supports steady progress while balancing everyday responsibilities.
