About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Diaz brings 12 years of clinical practice to her work as an LMHC and LPC, guiding people through major life transitions and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on training and personal experience to support clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns. Her background includes work in inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, which informs a pragmatic and compassionate approach to therapy.

Elizabeth combines evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance and mindfulness-oriented practices and client-centered care to help clients build coping skills and clarify values. She often addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, career concerns, and complex problems like abandonment, attachment, and co-morbidity.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate a broader range of clients. Based in Florida and licensed as FL LMHC MH18595 and VA LPC 0701010366, she sees clients in multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Elizabeth accepts international clients and frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances practical strategies with personal meaning and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work, using each to address different kinds of difficulties. CBT focuses on recognizing and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance, and committed action to help clients move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings arise.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapts methods over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every issue. This collaborative stance helps clients try strategies and decide what feels most useful for them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, family, and travel, and they allow continued therapeutic momentum when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing, exercises, and check-ins to each client's chosen format to support steady progress.
