About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Carter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with 32 years of experience. She works directly with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and parenting challenges. She focuses on helping people take practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Background and approach
Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard and attachment-focused ideas to explore relationship patterns.
Sessions often include skills practice for managing strong feelings, tools for sleep and eating concerns, and strategies to reduce compulsive behaviors. She also supports people coping with grief, career stress, and life transitions. Clients who want both practical skills and a steady, compassionate therapist tend to fit well with her style.
Her background includes long clinical experience across many settings and a focus on addiction and mood concerns. Elizabeth accepts international clients and provides services in English. She offers a range of online session formats to match different schedules and needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that feed distress and on practicing new behaviors to feel better. It often helps with anxiety, sleeping, eating, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may weave together ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening so the plan matches how the client wants to make changes.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions are an easy option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
