About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shields is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Elizabeth lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her approaches and names ACT, attachment work, client-centered methods, and emotionally-focused therapy as part of her practice.
Elizabeth centers the therapeutic relationship at the start of care. She pays attention to building trust and rapport and describes therapy as a conversation that changes over time. Sessions include looking at thought patterns and everyday habits that keep problems going.
Her style is person-centered and strengths based. She learns about personal goals, values, and relationships and uses those to guide practical steps forward. Work in sessions can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new responses, and practicing coping skills between meetings.
Elizabeth has a particular interest in supporting family caregivers and notes she is a parent of a child with multiple disabilities. That lived experience influences how she talks about caregiver strain, chronic illness, and role demands when these topics come up.
She lists many areas she addresses, including ADHD, bipolar concerns, addiction, intimacy-related issues, body image, and communication problems. Clients can expect clear, direct conversation focused on manageable changes and problem-solving.

How Elizabeth integrates approaches for online work
Elizabeth describes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thinking patterns and habits that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises and short experiments to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood challenges.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without trying to eliminate them, and to clarify personal values so actions align with what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her approach when relationship patterns and early bonds are relevant, focusing on how past connections shape present reactions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She will discuss approaches with clients and decide together which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision guides what they practice in sessions and between meetings.

These practical benefits can help maintain regular meetings and support steady progress.
