About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of clinical experience who combines professional training and lived experience to help people navigate major life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of practice across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, offering grounded support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and related concerns. Her bilingual skills in English and Spanish allow her to connect with a wider range of clients in Florida and beyond.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical tools drawn from evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Elizabeth also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT and gender dysphoria matters, parenting and blended family dynamics, compassion fatigue, and career or life-change coaching.

Attention to topics like ADHD, attachment and abandonment, communication problems, fertility and caregiver stress informs her tailored care. Clients can expect a therapist who acknowledges how discomfort accompanies growth and change, and who helps map a path forward using empathy and skill.

She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to support accessibility and ongoing work toward personal goals.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for stress, trauma responses, and mood management. Client-centered principles guide her interactions, creating space for empathic listening and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard and respected.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together rather than a fixed prescription. She partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so the combination of techniques fits the individual’s situation and progress.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those juggling work, family, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, respond to changes in schedule, and practice therapeutic techniques between live meetings with licensed professionals and therapists.
