About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, substance use, and trauma. She practices in Florida and works in English. Her approach centers on listening and building a plan that fits each person's goals.
She focuses on practical supports for depression, anger, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also helps with addiction issues, eating and sleep problems, identity and LGBT concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions aim to set clear short- and long-term goals tailored to the person in front of her.
Elizabeth draws from several clinical approaches when shaping a plan. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She brings Client-Centered methods to create space for people to lead the conversation. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques when they match a client's needs.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She works with clients to choose techniques that fit their life. She also uses coaching elements when someone wants focused strategies for career or life transitions.
People who come to Elizabeth usually want tools they can use between sessions. She balances skill-building with empathic listening. The aim is to reduce distress while helping people move toward routines and relationships that feel more satisfying.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and gives concrete skills for mood, sleep, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client's own goals, making space for people to lead the pace and topics of sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership guides whether sessions lean more toward skills practice, values work, or open conversation.
The therapist's biography does not list session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to work over distance while helping people apply skills in daily life.
