About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years working in mental health. She draws on long experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and ADHD. Her manner is practical and direct, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
She prefers a client-centered style that starts with listening. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings. Elizabeth mixes talk therapy with skills practice so people leave sessions with tools to try that week.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationships, grief, self-esteem, anger, identity and sexual issues, and challenges around eating and sleep. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, career strain, and aging-related concerns. Addiction and trauma recovery are regular parts of her practice.
Elizabeth uses several clinical approaches to match the person rather than forcing one model. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies teach ways to notice experience without getting swept up by it.
People who do best with her tend to want clear steps and real-world skills. She helps create an individualized plan for short- and longer-term goals. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning and reconnecting to what matters most.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and helps people build new habits to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another method she draws on; it teaches acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to help clients notice their thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean blending strategies over a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows more face-to-face feeling and fuller discussion, phone can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for focused check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching or brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy schedule.
