About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Renteria is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, and other life changes. She brings a practical, strengths-based focus to sessions and emphasizes collaboration to help clients identify workable strategies and cultivate greater well-being.
Background and approach
Renteria combines client-centered principles with cognitive and mindfulness-informed techniques to address emotional distress and everyday challenges. Her background includes master's level training in social work and counseling, and she has worked with individuals and families on issues such as depression, addiction, parenting struggles, and caregiver stress.
She aims to integrate culturally relevant practices so care resonates with each person’s experience. In sessions she prioritizes a warm, respectful connection where clients' goals and values guide the work.
With three years of clinical experience and licensure in California and Oregon, Elizabeth uses practical tools alongside deeper exploration to support problem solving, emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current emotional responses; it can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment, or connection challenges. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and values, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques over time so the plan reflects what is working and what feels meaningful to the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or on the go. These formats can make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of support during life transitions, while still providing regular therapeutic contact with a licensed professional.
