About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Griffin is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She offers calm, steady support and listens actively as parents and caregivers talk through difficult moments. Her style is warm and collaborative, with the goal of finding practical steps that fit each family's life.

She draws on nearly 30 years of experience in clinical work and independent practice.

Background and approach

That background includes training in marriage and family therapy and education, plus long experience helping people cope with life changes, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and parenting struggles. Her LMHC credential stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and reflects state-level licensure in Florida. Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral approaches, adjusted to each person’s situation.

She also integrates other counseling methods and, when clients want it, explores spiritual beliefs as part of treatment. The room is intended to be nonjudgmental and compassionate while remaining focused on problem solving. Sessions are practical and conversational.

She helps clients identify strengths, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small experiments to test new ways of coping. Many clients find that taking gradual steps reduces stress and improves family communication. Her practice offers several remote formats to fit busy schedules.

Work begins by matching on goals and picking a session rhythm that fits daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life

Elizabeth uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns and try small, practical changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and daily stress management.

She also blends family-oriented counseling techniques that focus on communication patterns and role dynamics within the household. These methods aim to improve how family members talk and solve problems together, which often helps parenting and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, values, and daily rhythms. If spiritual or faith elements matter to a client, those can be included when requested.

Online therapy is offered through multiple remote formats to match busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions. These options offer flexibility for parents who need appointments outside typical office hours and for people balancing work and caregiving.
