About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Underwood is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and low self-esteem. Her work also includes grief, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered listening to make space for what matters to each person. Mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches appear in sessions when they fit the client’s goals.
In practical terms she talks through current problems, identifies patterns that keep people stuck, and tries small experiments to test new ways of coping. Conversations are direct and focused on what can be changed now. She encourages concrete steps for everyday life, such as behavior experiments and short skill practices.
Elizabeth has worked with a wide range of stress-related and mood concerns over her career. Her experience includes helping people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, attachment questions, body image issues, and social anxiety. She also addresses guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions tend to balance problem-solving and reflective work. Clients leave with clear options to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's process.
How Cognitive Behavioral and Client-Centered Work Look Online
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression and to test small behavior changes that can change outcomes. CBT sessions focus on practical steps, experiments, and short exercises that can be practiced between meetings.She also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. That method helps clarify goals and what to prioritize in treatment. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a complementary method to teach attention and grounding skills for stress and sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Conversations about treatment options happen early and are adjusted as work proceeds.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use brief phone or video check-ins when that matches a client's needs, but confirm which formats are offered when you schedule.
