About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Underwood is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and improve self-esteem and motivation. Elizabeth aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and start making changes at their own pace.
She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-centered work keeps the client's voice front and center. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice the present moment and calm racing thoughts.
Elizabeth also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. Narrative therapy is used when reframing life stories helps reduce blame and increase agency. These methods are chosen to match what a person wants to work on, whether that is sleep, grief, or coping with life transitions.
Over a 15-year career Elizabeth has worked with many common concerns such as depression, anger, grief, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses issues like caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, body image, and social anxiety.
Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings, honest conversation about goals, and slowly building skills that fit daily life. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Elizabeth’s approaches fit online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and values first, encouraging honest talk and practical problem solving. This approach helps when someone needs focused support for sleep, stress, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, insomnia, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which often helps with sleep and ongoing worry.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed script.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit moments of therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, and let people practice strategies in day-to-day settings. These practical benefits can make it simpler to try new habits for sleep, manage stress between sessions, and keep momentum toward personal goals.
