Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Mindfulness and client-centered techniques help people pause, tune into themselves, and recover steadier footing when life gets chaotic. Elizabeth brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions.

She has a background that includes counseling, supervision, research, and teaching, and she uses that experience to guide practical, realistic steps forward. Her style aims to be steady rather than rushed, helping people make changes that last. Typical concerns she addresses include parenting stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes.

She also works with anxiety, mood shifts, and issues tied to family history or communication problems. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments in daily life, and strengthening the skills people already have. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a range of online formats.

Information about scheduling and how sessions are arranged is provided during the initial matching and scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can explore patterns in caregiving, safety, and connection so clients can try different ways of relating in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that fuel stress or anxiety. In remote sessions the therapist and client identify helpful experiments and practical steps to change thinking and build new routines.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice feelings and bodily sensations without judgment. These practices can reduce reactivity and help parents respond more calmly in tense moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This collaborative process helps tailor the plan over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. The flexibility supports steady progress while allowing people to use the communication style that works best for them.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
