About Elisabeth

Elisabeth "Lis" Werth welcomes people seeking practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and concerns linked to attention and focus.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and collaborates with them to build on existing strengths while addressing obstacles such as concentration difficulties, motivation struggles, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Working as a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, Lis draws on three years of clinical experience to help clients explore patterns like attachment wounds, codependency, impulsivity, and compulsive behaviors. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are, clarifying goals, and developing skills for better coping and clearer decision-making.

She aims to support clients through change with practical tools and empathic guidance grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Lis accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

She encourages prospective clients to take the initial step toward greater wellbeing and partners with them to tailor a path forward that fits their needs and life circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Care and Flexible Online Options



Lis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in ways that are clear and practical. One common approach involves skill-building strategies that help with anxiety, stress management, and attention challenges by teaching concrete coping tools and organizational habits. Another focus is exploring attachment patterns and relational behaviors to better understand interpersonal difficulties and reduce codependent or impulsive responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lis works with each client to identify goals, trial different strategies, and tailor interventions to fit personal needs and preferences. She emphasizes partnership and adjustment over time so the chosen methods align with what actually helps the client make sustainable changes.

Online therapy with Lis offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity while traveling or living abroad, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can effectively support symptom reduction and skill-building through remote formats while adapting pace and tools to each client's circumstances.
