About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Toback is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 38 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling in relationships, coping with trauma or abuse, and managing mood concerns such as depression and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, stress, addictions, grief, eating concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach starts from the idea that clients know their story best. She listens for strengths and practical resources the person already has. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and on naming patterns that get in the way of better boundaries, clearer communication, or healthier habits.
Elizabeth uses conversations that help people understand thoughts and behaviors, and practices that build emotional skills. She draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to help manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when it fits the person’s goals.
People seeking help around codependency, attachment or abandonment concerns will find attention to relationship patterns and boundary-setting. She can also talk through caregiver stress, chronic illness impacts, body image, and concerns related to adoption or blended families.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in Florida. The first meeting is used to clarify concerns, set short-term goals, and agree on next steps that feel manageable.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on the person's strengths. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills that can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by allowing shorter check-ins, removing commute time, or permitting phone-only sessions when video is not needed. Therapists can use these formats to practice skills between sessions and to focus on boundary-setting, communication, and day-to-day coping strategies.
