About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Goodsite Bondy is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work. She speaks English and practices from Wisconsin.

Her approach treats the person, not just a list of problems, and she speaks plainly in sessions so parents can follow along easily. She favors practical methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify what matters most to each person, build clearer thinking and coping skills, and strengthen close relationships over time. The therapist uses direct, usable tools rather than long clinical explanations. Elizabeth believes clients know their story and have strengths to draw on.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on what to change now and how to handle the next hard moment. Her background includes work across mood and behavior concerns, trauma and grief, parenting and family-related issues, attention differences, and relationship and intimacy topics.

She also has experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and can schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what they value and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where clarity about priorities matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns that affect daily routines and parenting choices.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions today and works to improve trust and connection in close relationships. It can help with attachment issues, blended family stress, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan based on what is working. Clients and the therapist collaborate to choose options that match needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, follow up between meetings, and use tools from home. Working remotely can help people maintain continuity of care while juggling work, childcare, and other obligations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
