About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Lee is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She aims to help clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves and others by identifying patterns of thought and behavior and turning insights into practical change. Her style emphasizes encouragement, empathy, and acceptance while offering clear guidance on skills to improve daily life.

Lee blends exploration of past relationships with attention to present-day challenges, helping clients see how earlier experiences shape current reactions and what can be changed now. She draws on an eclectic, whole-person approach that considers mind, body, and spirit, and she sometimes uses paradoxical techniques to reframe difficulties as potential strengths.

Communication training and practical coping strategies are central features of her work, offered in a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere aimed at empowering clients to make meaningful, lasting improvements.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Elizabeth integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into online sessions to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and attention-related challenges. One common approach she uses involves exploring past relationship patterns alongside present behavior to increase self-awareness and identify changeable habits; this method helps uncover how earlier experiences shape current difficulties and offers concrete steps to alter them. Another often-used strategy is communication skills training, which teaches clearer expression, active listening, and conflict management useful for improving close relationships and day-to-day interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities. Clients and therapist set the pace together and review what is helping as therapy moves forward.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and accessibility for different lifestyles. These formats make it possible to receive regular support without travel, accommodate varied communication preferences, and allow consistent follow-up between live meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor the combination of approaches and formats to match each person’s situation and therapeutic goals.
