More about Elizabeth
- 5 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a licensed therapist in Florida and have a passion for helping people heal after traumatic events. I have extensive experience guiding clients to overcome negative experiences, build resilience, and move forward with unparalleled inner strength. I love empowering individuals to rewrite their stories and believe everyone can benefit from therapy. As social creatures, we thrive with support, and therapy can significantly enhance our success and well-being. Expression is very important to me, and I am dedicated to helping my clients gain the confidence to truly understand themselves and express their identities in ways that feel authentic to them.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
