Liz was very great at being receptive to everything that I said during our talks. It was comforting knowing I could say anything to her and she had my best interest in mind.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s a great listener, I feel comfortable and safe talking with her which helps tremendously. I never feel judged or like she wants to fix my situation, she listens and offers guidance when I need it.

If you want to change your life, see Elizabeth. She is nurturing and kind, but not afraid to help you jump into the tough stuff. With Elizabeth, I felt safe to address the things that I have been avoiding for decades: childhood trauma, family addiction, grief and loss, self confidence, and anxiety. I am a different person from our first session and I will be forever (forever) grateful for that transformation.

Liz is amazing, after every session I always feel uplifted and supported. She's a wonderful listener and is able to keep up with my scatterbrained topics. I feel so lucky that I was matched with her. Her weekly how-to's are helpful and appreciated. She validates the things I'm going through, is consistent and is all around just nice to talk to. She asks the hard questions but is also ready to laugh during each session. I adore her.

Wow- Liz has been such a pillar of strength and motivation for me! She has helped me navigate my concerns in such a caring way, while also not holding back from giving me a "push" when I need it. She truly listens to me, both during our sessions and in our chats, and I can't thank her enough for all the insights and advice she's given me in the time we've been together!

I can't speak more highly of Liz. I was an anxiety ridden mess due to some big life changes. She expertly helped me navigate and understand the root causes of my issues as well as give me coping mechanisms to get my worries under control.

Reviewed June 2021

I've only been with Elizabeth for a short time, but I've found her to be very responsive and helpful so far. What I appreciate most is that, unlike other therapists I've tried, she really takes the time to read intake forms and considers the information you provide to her when she counsels you. That shows an attention to detail and a level of care that means a lot to me and makes me very optimistic for continuing with her as my therapist.

Elizabeth is great! She responds very quickly and I know she takes the time to read my messages, no matter how long because she always responds with follow up questions or shows she understands my emotions at that moment.
