How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means pacing skill-building, setting short goals, and checking in on progress together.
