About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lee is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of experience. She works with people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and the strain of parenting and family problems.
She helps people who struggle to set boundaries, who keep putting others first, or who feel disconnected from close relationships. Sessions use talk and creative methods so feelings that are hard to name can come out in other ways. She also uses EMDR as part of trauma-focused work to address distressing memories and their ongoing effects.
Elizabeth draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered principles to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when people notice inner parts that conflict or protect them in ways that cause pain.
Her focus includes grief, coping with life changes, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, multicultural issues, and codependency and family of origin problems. She works with issues like guilt, shame, dissociation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions; online sessions let people reflect on those patterns from their everyday contexts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's concerns and pace, which works well over video or phone when sessions concentrate on what feels most important in the moment. EMDR is used for trauma-focused processing to help the brain work through troubling memories; when EMDR is part of online work, Elizabeth adapts procedures to fit the session format and the client's comfort.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - they can reduce travel time, allow scheduling during a lunch break, or provide a shorter check-in when needed. Ask about language options and how EMDR or creative methods are handled in an online session when you complete the matching questionnaire.
