Elizabeth Underwood, LMHC

Elizabeth Underwood is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. She aims to make starting therapy less daunting by offering steady support and practical next steps.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her, encouraging honest talk about thoughts and feelings. Elizabeth uses straightforward tools to build confidence and motivation. She helps people work through low mood, sleep struggles, anger, and grief with clear, manageable steps.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Narrative and motivational strategies are used to clarify values and keep momentum when motivation wanes.

Elizabeth also pays attention to life challenges that affect health and caregiving roles. She supports people handling chronic pain, long-term illness, caregiver stress, and the isolation that can come with those situations. Conversations may focus on coping skills, pacing, and communication with others.

Sessions tend to emphasize real-world actions you can try between meetings. Elizabeth aims to help people build steadier routines, improve sleep, and reconnect with purpose. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience first. Online sessions can recreate that space by prioritizing open conversation and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; that work adapts well to remote sessions because homework and real-life experiments are easy to assign and review between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or mindfulness practices fit best. That choice is guided by the person's goals, daily routine, and what feels most helpful in early sessions.

The practical benefits of remote therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days. Online care can make it simpler to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or health-related needs. Because this biography did not specify exact session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule and comfort.
