About Elisabeth

Lis has three years of clinical experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with motivation and focus.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, boundaries, codependency, and issues around identity and gender. Her background includes helping people cope with anger, compulsive behavior, and the emotional fallout of difficult life events. In the therapy room she listens for patterns that get in the way of daily life.
She helps people notice what’s keeping them stuck and practices small, concrete changes that fit real schedules. Sessions tend to focus on building routines, improving concentration, and managing strong emotions in the moment. Lis aims to collaborate on practical goals like clearer daily structure, better communication, and reduced overwhelm.
She encourages clients to use their existing strengths and to try specific strategies between sessions. Her approach is straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Licensed in California as an LMFT, Lis offers sessions in English and is available to people both inside and outside the United States.
She supports several concerns related to trauma, addiction, and mood differences while tailoring work to individual goals.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer daily routines. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for attention and executive functioning, teaching strategies to improve focus, time management, and memory in daily tasks. This helps when distraction or inconsistent routines make work and home life harder.Another frequent focus is emotion regulation work, which teaches ways to notice strong feelings, slow down reactivity, and respond with clearer choices. That work is helpful for anxiety, anger, and mood swings and pairs well with building steadier daily habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try out techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful and realistic. Clients shape the pace and focus of the work through ongoing feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit varied schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging can provide quick check-ins and written reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, school, and family demands.
