Elizabeth Diaz , LMHC, LPC

Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor with twelve years of experience helping people navigate big life changes. She blends personal experience with clinical work to support people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or identity questions. Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida. Her background includes work in inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment settings. That range gives her experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. She draws on several practical methods so sessions focus on what helps you now. In sessions she uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and try small experiments that reduce distress. She also offers coaching-style support for career moves, parenting strain, and major life transitions. Elizabeth works with a wide range of concerns related to relationships, identity, and coping. These include LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, intimacy struggles, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, abandonment and attachment worries, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related challenges. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the first meeting. If you want guidance toward clearer values and steadier coping, she helps map a path you can realistically follow.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than symptom avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so you can find your own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you’ll try methods and adjust them so the work fits your life and moves you toward clearer values and steadier coping.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper connection. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions.
