About Lizbeth
Lizbeth Borener is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and major life changes. Her work often addresses social anxiety, workplace problems, attachment concerns, and the emotional fallout of separation and loss.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions include practical strategies for coping with strong emotions and for improving everyday communication. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches.
Lizbeth pays attention to what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and test small changes between sessions. This can include rehearsing new ways to speak up at work, setting limits in relationships, or building brief routines that reduce anxiety.
For people dealing with grief or trauma, sessions balance present coping skills with careful processing of painful memories. For workplace stress and social anxiety, she emphasizes skill practice and behavioral experiments to build confidence. For financial strain or isolation, she works on problem-solving and reconnecting strategies.
Her style is practical and steady. New clients are guided through a short assessment and clear, achievable goals. Progress is tracked with specific steps so people can see what is changing and what to try next.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Lizbeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on clear, structured exercises and homework that build new habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable emotions remain. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on each persons experience and priorities, which helps shape practical goals.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That means adjusting techniques over time based on what is most useful.
