About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience. She draws on her clinical background and personal understanding of life transitions to help people find clearer direction.
Background and approach
Elizabeth works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and identity questions. She has worked in inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment settings.
That range of experience informs her practical approach in sessions. She often combines evidence-based strategies with mindfulness and values-focused work to help people cope with hard moments.
Elizabeth uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening. She also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship topics arise and existential work for meaning-focused concerns.
Sessions focus on concrete skills, noticing personal values, and practicing small changes between meetings. Many clients bring concerns about family strain, parenting, blended family issues, or caregiver stress.
Elizabeth also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and challenges around gender and sexual identity. She pays attention to patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and communication difficulties.
Elizabeth offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with an emphasis on collaboration.
She helps people set realistic goals, build practical coping tools, and take steady steps toward the life they want.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Elizabeth integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Gottman Method into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice their thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small action toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and managing relationship conflict. In sessions this often means practicing specific conversation skills and learning to rebuild trust and emotional connection. Elizabeth also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions rooted in each person's experience and priorities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to select strategies that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing processing between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, family life, or busy days.
