Elsbeth got me through a crisis I was having with grief. She quickly tuned into what kind of person I am so was able to support me the way I needed it most. She respected my spiritual beliefs. I was surprised how quickly we bonded. She is a sweet soul!
More about Elsbeth
- 20 years' experience

- LMFT, LMHC
I start therapy with radical acceptance crossed with family systems understanding. I am highly trained in anxiety, trauma, family issues/therapy, and experiential resilience to counter fear and phobias. I consider the whole person and their place in their life system(s). I use humor liberally to foster connectedness to the person, place, life of my clients. I tend to have a science/biology-based focus on how the human body influences and is influenced by the mind.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Elsbeth is kind and supportive and has given me many useful tools that I use daily to cope with anxiety.
Very understanding and helpful!
I have worked a few weeks (so far) with Elsbeth . She is kind, approachable and non judgmental. She listens , then assures you , and gets right to the point. She also suggests solutions in case it might be helpful to your situation. At times having an outside influence such as a therapist can point a new direction to move in or reinforce a positive method you may already have thought about yourself but were afraid to try. I have found Elsbeth easy to speak with. Just the right dose of smile and humor to keep things from becoming too difficult during therapy sessions. Would definitely recommend .
Elsbeth has been a breath of fresh air. I feel like I could tell her anything. She’s on my side, and helpful in every way. I would recommend her to anyone! She understands things that no one else has ever seemed to understand. She is a true gem.
Although I’ve only had two sessions with her I’m excited about every appointment to talk and work through things. I tell all my girlfriends about how amazing having an app like better help is especially when living on an island.
Beth has helped me in a time in my life when I was suffering from a tremendous amount of anxiety. I've been able to transition from feeling overwhelmed and stuck, to focusing on what I can control and moving forward with a plan and support. Thank you Beth!
Elsbeth is supportive and encouraging. Helps you explore your boundaries but without pressure. She’s also fun and has a sense of humor, which is important for good mental health!
She takes the time to understand me as a person instead of just providing advice I don't need
