Liz was very great at being receptive to everything that I said during our talks. It was comforting knowing I could say anything to her and she had my best interest in mind.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Liz was very great at being receptive to everything that I said during our talks. It was comforting knowing I could say anything to her and she had my best interest in mind.
great
She’s a great listener, I feel comfortable and safe talking with her which helps tremendously. I never feel judged or like she wants to fix my situation, she listens and offers guidance when I need it.
She’s great!
If you want to change your life, see Elizabeth. She is nurturing and kind, but not afraid to help you jump into the tough stuff. With Elizabeth, I felt safe to address the things that I have been avoiding for decades: childhood trauma, family addiction, grief and loss, self confidence, and anxiety. I am a different person from our first session and I will be forever (forever) grateful for that transformation.
It’s been helping my confidence and my relationships with people around me. I’m excited to continue getting help.
Liz is a wonderful counselor. I’m lucky to have found her as I work to cope with a really chaotic time in my life. I continuously am learning from her insights and also enjoy my time talking to her just as she is an overall wonderful human being. Thanks for everything, Liz!
Thoughtful and caring. Just getting started, but she immediately made me feel safe and heard. Looking forward to this process!
Elizabeth provides a great listening ear and a lot of compassion in her sessions.
Liz is wonderful. She is incredibly easy to talk to and always makes me feel heard. She is very insightful and I really value her perspective on things. I look forward to our sessions every week.
She has helped me so much in a short period of time. She really understands me and leads me in the right direction. I am very grateful I found her.
Liz has been incredibly supportive and understanding with me. She is quick to celebrate my wins but she definitely says the hard stuff I need to hear as well. She is easy to trust and very open with communication and meeting me and my needs where I am.
Liz is amazing, after every session I always feel uplifted and supported. She's a wonderful listener and is able to keep up with my scatterbrained topics. I feel so lucky that I was matched with her. Her weekly how-to's are helpful and appreciated. She validates the things I'm going through, is consistent and is all around just nice to talk to. She asks the hard questions but is also ready to laugh during each session. I adore her.
Wow- Liz has been such a pillar of strength and motivation for me! She has helped me navigate my concerns in such a caring way, while also not holding back from giving me a "push" when I need it. She truly listens to me, both during our sessions and in our chats, and I can't thank her enough for all the insights and advice she's given me in the time we've been together!
I love Liz! She has helped me through so much already. I look forward to working with her more.
I can't speak more highly of Liz. I was an anxiety ridden mess due to some big life changes. She expertly helped me navigate and understand the root causes of my issues as well as give me coping mechanisms to get my worries under control.
I've only been with Elizabeth for a short time, but I've found her to be very responsive and helpful so far. What I appreciate most is that, unlike other therapists I've tried, she really takes the time to read intake forms and considers the information you provide to her when she counsels you. That shows an attention to detail and a level of care that means a lot to me and makes me very optimistic for continuing with her as my therapist.
Elizabeth isn’t just an amazing listener as a therapist, but she makes each session feel as though you are talking to your best friend, biggest fan and someone who truly cares about you.
Liz is amazing. She’s helped me cope with so many different challenges in my life. She is NEVER judgmental and always boosts my confidence.
Elizabeth id very understanding, flexible, and communicative. She provides great insight and id empathetic in her approach. I would very much recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and help during difficult moments.
Liz is awesome.
Elizabeth is great! She responds very quickly and I know she takes the time to read my messages, no matter how long because she always responds with follow up questions or shows she understands my emotions at that moment. She is very flexible with scheduling and sends weekly how to's which have been really helpful for me to read and use throughout my days.
Liz is a fantastic counselor. My time working with her has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. I feel like we’ve built up a really solid rapport and she knows when to call me on the things vs when I just need to vent. I am grateful for her patience, guidance, and insights that help me work through my trauma.
Elizabeth has really helped me put into prospective the challenges that I face.
Liz is great! She is a wonderful listener and has helpful comments and suggestions. I feel like she is helping me build habits to be happier. I highly recommend her!
I was nervous about online counseling, but after one video session with Liz, I felt much more comfortable. She is so easy to talk to, and she really cares about her clients. She immediately made me feel very safe, and she takes care to get context to really understand where I am coming from and what I am feeling. In just a short time working together, she has validated my experiences and given me direction toward real progress. Liz makes me feel supported, and she truly listens.
Elizabeth is great. She is a tremendous listener and works to help me build strategies to improve and maintain my mental health.
She listens to me and offers suggestions. I feel like she understands my situation dealing with loneliness and hurt.
Liz is great! I've been working with her for a few months now and she has been so helpful. If she makes a suggestion and I say, 'No, that doesn't work for me.' she finds another way to try. I feel that she really listens to my issues and doesn't just cram me into a 'client' box of generalities.
Liz is great and makes one feel comfortable in each session.
The first time I talked to Liz I felt like I was talking to an old friend and I felt comfortable confiding right away an issue that I knew was my big problem but something that was hard for me to talk about.
Elizabeth has done a great job being my counselor.
