About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LMHC and as a licensed professional counselor in Virginia. Elizabeth blends life experience with clinical practice to help people move forward when life feels overwhelming.
She often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, relationship concerns, and the strain of parenting.
Background and approach
Practical goals and small steps are part of how she structures sessions. Her background includes work in inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. That mix of settings shaped a flexible style that adapts to what a person needs in the moment.
Elizabeth uses straightforward tools rather than jargon to help clients manage hard emotions and make choices that fit their lives. Therapeutic approaches she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses ideas from Existential Therapy and the Gottman Method when they fit a person’s concerns.
Sessions focus on identifying what matters, building useful skills, and practicing different ways of responding to problems. People who come to her frequently want help with life transitions, relationship patterns, caregiving stress, ADHD-related challenges, and questions around gender and identity. Elizabeth aims to create a calm, practical space where clients can try new strategies and track real changes over time.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and understood while they explore personal goals and make decisions at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more effective strategies. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and developing coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep consistent contact during transitions.
