About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lent is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She centers her work on practical, evidence-informed tools that help clients make sense of difficult emotions and regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Elizabeth’s style is direct yet supportive, inviting people to explore their patterns and try manageable strategies for change. Her background includes extensive experience in school settings, which has shaped a clear awareness of the pressures faced by educators, school staff, and caregivers.
That experience informs her support for clients going through life transitions such as becoming a parent or shifting roles at home and work. She also works with individuals dealing with isolation, guilt, communication difficulties, and questions of life purpose, aiming to strengthen self-awareness, communication skills, and resilience.
Elizabeth draws on well-established methods like cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and set achievable goals. She partners with clients to develop personalized plans that reflect their values and day-to-day realities, helping them move toward more confidence and connection.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Elizabeth often integrates cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness practices in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete behavioral skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes learning present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult feelings, which can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Elizabeth will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine whether CBT, mindfulness, or a blend of methods will be most helpful. She encourages clients to experiment with techniques and offers ongoing feedback so the plan evolves with the client's needs.
Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered through several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity during transitions or busy periods.
