Elisabeth "Lis" Werth, LMFT

Elisabeth "Lis" Werth is a licensed clinician in California with three years of professional experience supporting people through common and complex life challenges. She focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship concerns, and rebuild motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also works with difficulties related to coping with life changes and with problems involving concentration, memory, and focus.

Lis approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address what feels difficult. She encourages courageous first steps toward greater fulfillment and offers steady, supportive guidance through the process of change. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings training in relational and systemic perspectives to her work, applying evidence-based techniques to help clients meet their goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful partnership in which goals and strategies are shaped by the client’s needs and values. Lis aims to create a practical, compassionate space for growth and problem solving as clients work toward clearer focus, improved relationships, and increased well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Elisabeth "Lis" Werth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to common presenting concerns. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies for stress and anxiety, teaching practical tools for calming the nervous system, managing worry, and improving daily functioning - helpful for people dealing with persistent stress or overwhelming anxiety. Another approach focuses on relationship-centered work, exploring patterns in communication and attachment to improve connection, boundaries, and conflict resolution in partnerships and family relationships. A trauma-informed perspective guides her work when past hurts affect present functioning, offering paced support to process difficult experiences and rebuild stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lis collaborates with each client to identify goals, assess what is helping or hindering progress, and adjust methods so the plan fits the client’s needs, preferences, and pace. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Lis is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals around schedules, travel, or other commitments, while still engaging with licensed professionals and therapists who support progress over time.
