About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Dahlberg-Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience based in New Jersey. She works with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She also addresses codependency, self-esteem, addictions, and stress related to caregiving or life transitions.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, improving emotional expression, and building clearer boundaries. She draws on Client-Centered methods to follow what each person brings and to prioritize their goals.

Elizabeth also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand attachment and how it shapes close relationships. For people processing traumatic events she can incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques alongside mindfulness practices to calm strong reactions and reduce intrusive memories.

Her background includes supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum challenges, hospice and end-of-life situations, and midlife or career transitions. She helps with abandonment issues, family-of-origin wounds, and the isolation that can follow major life changes.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps with concrete tools for stress, short-term coping strategies, and conversations about longer goals like career direction or relationship changes. Sessions include talking through difficult feelings and practicing small steps that fit into everyday life.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions can work

Elizabeth draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify goals, voice difficult feelings, or decide on next steps.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at attachment patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect reactions and intimacy. For people who have experienced trauma, she can integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing elements alongside mindfulness techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and bodily responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs and preferences, trying different ways of working as appropriate. That means adjusting pace, focusing on skills practice, or shifting toward deeper processing depending on progress and comfort.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are used. Confirm current online session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy levels, for example using audio-only when video feels like too much or scheduling a midday session to fit around other responsibilities.
