Elisabeth is absolutely wonderful and so easy to talk to. She’s my first therapist I’ve ever had and I could not see myself having anyone else! She really does a great job at listening to you and working with you while providing you the mental tools you need to get through anything you need to get through. She’s awesome and I highly recommend her.

My name is Elisabeth and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from California. I’ve done therapy in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York City but was educated at the University of Southern California. I am eager to hear about how you are doing. I have worked with clients for over seven years, specializing in relationship issues, parenting, and managing stress, anxiety and depression.
Life challenges can really knock us down and make it hard to move forward. I am here to be your support. With compassion and empowering conversation, we can work together to help you live your best life. I can help you make important, impactful decisions in your life, or be there to listen when you just need someone to talk to.
Numerous people suffer from anxiety and depression but did you know that they are very treatable health issues? Research shows that there are many concrete techniques that can really make a difference in helping you deal with those feelings. My combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy and Attachment Science can help you live a fulfilling and happy life on your terms.
A notable client I’ve worked with was a single mother who suffered from extreme sadness and feelings of being overwhelmed in social situations. After determining she suffered from depression, we worked on behavioral techniques to alleviate the symptoms of depression such as helping her to learn to reframe negative thoughts, utilize calming techniques and engage in endorphin-boosting behavior.
The next layer was helping to identify the type of situations that would trigger her depression or social anxiety. After identifying some previous life events that caused her great distress and trauma, we were able to help her understand and identify why she became unhealthily depressed and anxious. This lead to a more fulfilling social life and a more emotionally stable outlook on life. She has a new life partner and a much more optimistic view on life. I hope I can help you to find the balance and happiness that you deserve. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.

She is awesome!
Great therapist and exactly what I needed. I’ve tried several over my lifetime and Elisabeth by far exceeds all others. I will keep going to her for a long time.
Elisabeth is amazing! She's helped me walk through the intense emotions of grief and has made me a better person overall. I always look forward to our sessions.
Elisabeth is a highly qualified counselor who puts in the time to understand my problems and listens to my concerns and opinions. Her warm and friendly approach makes it extremely easy to talk to her. She has been very supportive which is exactly what I needed right now. She is devoted to her work and her patients and even takes time out during weekends to address my issues. I would easily recommend Elisabeth to all future users of BetterHelp.
