Elizabeth Lee, LMFT

Elizabeth Lee is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She earned a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1988 and became licensed as an LMFT in 1998. Her practice centers on supporting individuals and families to build healthier connections with themselves and others, combining encouragement and validation with an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance.

Elizabeth has a talent for spotting patterns in clients' lives and bringing those patterns into awareness so they can be understood and changed when needed. She also helps clients recognize hidden strengths and talents that can be mobilized for growth. Her work includes the use of paradoxical strategies to reframe painful experiences, practical communication skills training to strengthen relationships, and an eclectic, whole-person approach that considers mind, body, and spirit.

She has extensive experience working with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting and family issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, suicidality, psychosis, personality disorders, and a range of mood and anxiety conditions. Elizabeth delivers tailored care that blends exploration of past relationships with a focus on present change, and she welcomes the opportunity to support clients in making meaningful, lasting improvements in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Elizabeth integrates focused communication skills training into her work to help clients improve how they express needs, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts. This practical skill-building supports healthier relationships across family, romantic, and work contexts. She also offers trauma-focused work that helps people process and make sense of past hurts and abuse, guiding clients toward more adaptive patterns of coping and recovery. In addition, Elizabeth employs a whole-person, strengths-oriented approach that considers emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing and seeks to mobilize existing assets for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works together with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and tailor techniques to fit individual needs and preferences. That collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and different life circumstances. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent care without traveling, coordinate appointments more easily, and maintain continuity of work with a licensed professional even when life circumstances change.
