Elizabeth Aulds , LMHC

Elizabeth Aulds is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. Her approach centers on working with each person’s strengths and priorities to find practical ways forward.

Elizabeth combines practical skills with a respectful, person-focused stance. She uses methods that teach coping tools, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming emotions. Sessions aim to be clear and direct so people can try new strategies between meetings.

She often helps people navigating relationship strain, divorce and separation, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Other areas she addresses include family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife transitions, and mood disorders. She also has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and impulsivity issues.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to build flexible thinking, emotional regulation, and values-based action.

Elizabeth aims to make the therapy process collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set steps that feel doable. People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills for mood and stress management. It suits depression, anxiety, and coping with change. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust what’s used based on what helps. This collaboration means a plan can shift over time so it fits your needs and preferences.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while continuing steady progress.
