About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Lee is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She specializes in helping women and young adults navigate low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, parenting concerns, and family-of-origin or current family problems. Fluent in English and Spanish, she combines talk-based work with creative methods and trauma-focused interventions to meet clients where words may not fully capture their experience.

As an LMFT Elizabeth holds a clinical license to work with individuals, couples, and families, and she has additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help the brain process distressing memories. She also brings art therapy techniques into sessions, offering alternative ways to express feelings when verbal expression is difficult. Her approach centers on understanding attachment patterns, building self-compassion, and addressing codependency, dissociation, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions.

Elizabeth frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at increasing emotional resilience and a more fulfilling life. She creates a nonjudgmental environment for exploring postpartum and perinatal concerns, women's issues, multicultural stressors, and the lasting effects of trauma, with practical tools to manage stress and support healthier relationships.

Approaches for Online Healing and Trauma Recovery



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence present emotions and behaviors. It helps people who feel disconnected, struggle with intimacy, or repeat unhelpful relationship dynamics by exploring attachment needs and building more secure ways of relating.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports the brain's capacity to process distressing memories. Through structured sets of attention and processing, EMDR can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact, which can help with post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, feelings, and everyday functioning, and it teaches practical strategies to manage triggers and rebuild a sense of safety. This approach is useful for people dealing with abuse, loss, or overwhelming life events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth Lee works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients weigh options and adapt strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life or when in-person visits are not practical. These options support continuity of care, allow different modes of communication depending on comfort level, and make it simpler to maintain momentum in therapy.
