Therapeutic approaches and online support

Elizabeth Underwood commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person’s own capacity for growth, which can help with self esteem, motivation, and life transitions. CBT examines patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address addictive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and grounding practices that can ease stress, improve sleep, and increase awareness of emotional triggers.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time so therapy feels relevant and manageable for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect in ways that suit a client’s life, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits, and they support ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists as clients work toward their goals.
