Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eliza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that can change how they feel. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps in day-to-day life. ACT can be helpful for people dealing with avoidance, uncertainty, or ongoing difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eliza will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend ways of working. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people replicate the feel of an in-person session, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, timely check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful change with a licensed professional.
