About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Diaz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience in clinical settings. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and LGBT concerns, and other issues young adults commonly face. She also supports people with trauma, grief, self-esteem and career questions.
Diaz draws on work across inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment. That background informs how she approaches difficult transitions and sudden life changes. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on practical steps. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work to help people notice what matters and try small changes.
In sessions she helps people talk through identity questions, attachment and abandonment worries, and communication problems. She also addresses parenting stress, blended family issues, and caregiver burden when relevant to an individual’s life. Her approach includes relationship tools from the Gottman Method for intimacy and partnership concerns.
Elizabeth works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients. People often come to her when they feel stuck after school, at the start of a career, or during major life shifts. She aims to create clear goals and small, manageable steps toward them.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and clarifying personal values, then taking small, value-guided actions. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving the person space to set the direction while the therapist reflects and supports their process.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on values and acceptance, skill-based CBT exercises, relationship tools, or a mix of methods that fit the situation.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a college schedule, a workday, or a busy week. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require travel, which helps when time or travel is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt tasks and homework for use between sessions so progress continues in everyday life.
