Flexible Online Therapy with Evidence-Based Approaches
Elizabeth Shields, LMHC, LIMHP, draws from several well-established approaches to support clients with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable ways of responding, especially when anxiety, low mood, or stress feels overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward what matters most, guided by personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape needs, boundaries, and connection, which can be especially useful when working through relationship strain, abandonment concerns, or communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to understand preferences, goals, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits daily life and changing schedules.
