About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Tebo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California with two decades of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood-related difficulties like depression and bipolar challenges.

Background and approach

Elizabeth emphasizes clients' own strengths and perspectives, guiding them to build on what already works in their lives while learning new skills to manage symptoms and life transitions. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and somatic work, selected to fit each person's needs.

Elizabeth frames therapy as a collaborative process: she supports and empowers clients as they take steps toward greater wellbeing, healthier relationships, and clearer coping strategies. Practical concerns such as sleep problems, caregiving stress, fertility and hospice-related counseling, and recovery from sexual assault are among the areas she addresses with sensitivity and experience.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy



Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT tends to emphasize skill-building, homework, and measurable goals that adapt well to remote formats. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients facing intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods over time to find the best fit. Clients are invited to offer feedback about what is working so therapy can be tailored to their evolving needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, travel, or other commitments while accessing a licensed professional. The mix of real-time sessions and messaging can support ongoing skill practice and timely support between appointments.
