About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a direct, practical approach to common struggles like anxiety, depression, substance concerns, grief, and sleep trouble.
She uses a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She helps clients set short- and long-term goals and builds a plan that fits daily life.
Her background includes treating trauma, addiction, anger, and issues around identity and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career strain, and self-esteem concerns. Sleep and rest are among the areas she addresses when they affect functioning and wellbeing.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to help people change unhelpful habits, manage intense emotions, and notice what they most value.
People can expect practical tools plus time to talk through struggles. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on real-life steps. The aim is to reduce distress and increase daily functioning and satisfaction over time.
How different approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for mood, worry, and sleep routines. Mindfulness Therapy involves learning simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity, which often supports better rest and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies if something is not helping or if focus needs to shift.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also allow using exercises and mindfulness practices between sessions to support sleep and daily routines.
