How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce distress and change habits.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT strategies for values-driven change, CBT techniques for symptom relief, or blending elements from client-centered and solution-focused work to set short-term goals and review progress.
