About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Aulds brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy, leaning on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy while blending mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that builds on each person's existing strengths and life experience to address symptoms like stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and loss. With 14 years of clinical work and licensure as an LMHC in Florida, Elizabeth focuses on everyday struggles as well as complex relational and mood challenges.

Her practice also attends to issues such as blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control and impulsivity concerns, and life transitions including divorce, midlife reorientation, and questions of purpose. Clients can expect a respectful, client-centered stance that values personal expertise and choices while offering structured tools when helpful.

Elizabeth aims to create a space where people can explore grief, shame, forgiveness, and family-of-origin patterns, and develop practical skills for coping and moving forward.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Elizabeth often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical skills for reducing anxiety and improving mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, developing psychological flexibility, and taking actionable steps toward a more meaningful life. These approaches are accessible and tailored to concerns like stress, depression, trauma recovery, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client work together to determine which methods best fit the client's goals, preferences, and daily realities. This means techniques may be blended and adjusted over time so that therapy remains relevant and useful for the individual's situation.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing options for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or differing comfort with technology. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and access care from home or other convenient locations, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and tools to each client's needs.
