About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Underwood is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, and career or life-change challenges. Elizabeth also works with compassion fatigue, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
She uses a client-centered approach to make sessions focused on the person's concerns and preferences. That means conversations start with the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness techniques to build practical ways to manage stress and mood.
Elizabeth can use motivational interviewing to help people find momentum for change, and narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on practical steps between meetings. The emphasis is on noticing what works and adjusting the approach when needed.
Her style aims to be direct and respectful. She helps clients talk through feelings, practice new skills, and plan small actions that fit everyday life. For people unsure about what comes next, Elizabeth supports exploration of values, priorities, and next steps without promising a particular outcome.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person and their goals. This approach means the client leads the topics and pace, while the therapist listens and reflects to clarify what matters most. It suits issues like low motivation, life transitions, and exploring values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. CBT involves practical exercises and tracking patterns between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy is offered as well and teaches simple attention skills to manage stress and improve sleep or emotional regulation.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is reviewed.
