About
Elizabeth Shields, LMHC, LIMHP, practices from Nebraska and frames therapy as an ongoing, collaborative conversation. She emphasizes a person-centered, strengths-based stance and attends to each person as a whole. Building rapport and trust is presented as the foundation for the work, with the timeline for that rapport depending on individual needs and circumstances.
Her clinical interests cover a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, caregiving stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Additional focuses listed include attachment concerns, neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, and chronic health and caregiving demands.
She draws from multiple therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Existential Therapy. Elizabeth notes a particular commitment to supporting family caregivers and names her lived experience as a parent of a child with multiple disabilities as informing that focus. Prospective clients are invited to discuss beginning services and to explore whether her way of working aligns with their goals.

Remote sessions and clinical methods
Elizabeth offers remote sessions that can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are listed as available ways to work together, and she accepts international clients. Remote formats are described as part of how she meets with people rather than as a separate model of care.
She frequently combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is presented as a way to clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is framed as a method to examine thought patterns and related behaviors and to practice alternative responses. Together these approaches can support focused goal work and skills practice in a practical way.
Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her approach and is described as useful when exploring relational patterns and closeness. Elizabeth emphasizes collaboration: she learns about a person’s goals and values and tailors sessions to those priorities while using the communication options that best fit the person’s needs.
