About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Diaz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and issues around identity and self-esteem. Elizabeth addresses grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and career or life changes in straightforward conversation and practical steps.

She combines clinical methods with what she has learned from her own life. That mix informs her work with teens and adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She has worked in inpatient and partial hospitalization settings as well as outpatient care, so she is familiar with a range of clinical situations.

In sessions she uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential perspectives. That means she focuses on what clients value, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns, and stays grounded in the person’s real concerns. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work when it fits.

Her practice addresses a long list of common struggles: ADHD, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family and caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, fertility and parenting stress, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame. She also supports people managing compassion fatigue and co-morbid conditions.

Elizabeth offers sessions in English and Spanish and sees international clients as well. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online intake flow.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making choices that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical techniques to change patterns that worsen stress and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship so clients can reflect and make changes at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss which methods may fit best based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life because they can avoid travel and schedule shorter or later appointments. Online work can include practical exercises, thought records, values-based planning, and couple communication practice where relevant. Licensed professionals can suggest the format that makes the most sense for a person’s routines and goals.
