About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people address anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma and relationship and family concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test alternative ways of responding. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods to clarify values and build workable steps toward them. Mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy appear in her work when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
In sessions she aims for a straightforward, collaborative style. She and the client map short- and longer-term goals, then try concrete strategies between meetings. Progress is tracked with specific tasks and regular check-ins so people can see what is changing and what needs adjustment.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond mood and substance use. That includes grief, self-esteem, sexual and identity questions, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and aging-related matters. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and coping after disasters.
People considering work with her complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The focus is on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on finding approaches that match each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and measure whether those changes help with anxiety, mood, or habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to design actions that reflect those values even when feelings are difficult, which can help with motivation and recovery from substance use. Client-Centered techniques keep the conversation focused on the person’s goals and immediate concerns rather than a fixed agenda.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to identify what feels most useful based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know the exact options available. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules. Online work can make short check-ins easier, allow meetings without commuting, and reduce time away from daily tasks while still using structured CBT and ACT strategies during sessions.
