About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shields is an LMHC and a LIMHP practicing in Nebraska with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, addiction concerns, and codependency patterns. Elizabeth also supports people dealing with career strain, sleeping trouble, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on strengths and on what matters to each person. Sessions are conversational and practical. She pays attention to personal values, relationships, and daily routines while helping people build coping skills and resilience.
Elizabeth brings experience supporting family caregivers and people affected by chronic illness and disability. She understands the practical demands that caregiving places on daily life and helps people identify ways to manage stress and burnout. She also works with people who are navigating attachment concerns, abandonment worries, or patterns of people-pleasing and control issues.
In the room she combines methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Emotionally-Focused work, and client-centered listening. That mix is used to clarify values, change unhelpful thinking, and improve relationship patterns rather than to label anyone.
Her approach is collaborative. She invites people to set goals and to try strategies between sessions. The subscription-based service billing can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with people-pleasing, codependency patterns, anxiety, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change routines that cause distress. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep trouble, and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and behavior; it helps people understand patterns around closeness, trust, and boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses based on what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical around caregiving or work. Many people find the structured tools from ACT and CBT translate well to remote sessions, and attachment-focused conversations can be effective across distance when both people are engaged.
