How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy is about following the client’s lead and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. In practice that means the therapist listens carefully, asks clarifying questions, and helps set goals that feel realistic. This approach is useful for relationship and family concerns where understanding everyone’s priorities matters.

Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and build steadier focus. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, and for noticing patterns in communication. Exercises are easy to practice between sessions and can be reviewed together during online meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adjusts the pace and methods based on what the client prefers and how they respond over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving responsibilities, work, or mobility limitations. The variety of formats also lets people use brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what they need that week.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
