Elizabeth Baxt, LMFT

Elizabeth Baxt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with four decades of clinical experience helping people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and strengthen relationships. She works with individuals, couples, and families who are motivated to think more clearly, make better decisions, and build more fulfilling lives. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and attitudinal shifts so clients can feel better about themselves and move toward the life they want.

She individualizes care to meet each person’s needs, favoring creative and interactive methods alongside traditional talk therapy. In addition to conversation, she is trained to integrate art and guided imagery to help clients access insight and develop new coping strategies. Clients typically leave sessions having learned something useful about themselves and with tools to address everyday challenges.

Elizabeth values collaboration and mutual learning in the therapeutic relationship. She currently provides services through telemedicine for clients in Oregon and California. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and parenting challenges, self-esteem, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy, career and life transitions, depression, compassion fatigue, and general coping skills.

Client-Centered Care and Online Options

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Elizabeth Baxt’s work. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s perspective, offering empathy and acceptance, and helping people discover their own solutions. It is especially helpful for clients working through self-esteem, relationship concerns, life transitions, or emotional distress where personal insight and autonomy are central.

She also integrates expressive techniques such as art and guided imagery alongside conversation. These methods invite different ways of accessing feelings and memories and can be useful for clients who benefit from nonverbal exploration or creative problem solving, including those coping with grief, compassion fatigue, or intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Elizabeth works with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their style and needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care from home, and continue therapeutic work through life changes while working with a licensed professional.
