About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Dahlberg-Lee is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, compassionate care. She uses approaches that center the client's experience and works to make emotional problems easier to talk about and handle. With clear, respectful guidance she helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family issues, and life transitions.

Elizabeth holds the LPC-MHSP credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider, and she also holds an LPC.

Background and approach

She brings 11 years of clinical experience and practices from New Jersey. She offers sessions in English and is available to international clients as documented. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns such as hospice counseling.

She also supports people navigating pregnancy, postpartum depression, midlife change, aging and geriatric issues, and career or financial stressors. Elizabeth uses a mix of methods to respond to the situation at hand. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods, emotionally-focused work, EMDR for trauma processing, the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress.

The goal is to help clients notice what matters, shift painful patterns, and build more reliable coping skills. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is used and scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through feelings and decide goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and change the patterns that keep people stuck in painful interactions or emotional cycles; it is useful for working through attachment concerns and improving emotional connection. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused tool that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories and can support recovery from post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, history, and preferences, then suggest an approach or combination of approaches. Goals are set collaboratively and reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the plan fits the person's life and changes over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when travel or other barriers arise. Many people find that remote formats let them access consistent support without extra commute time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
