    About Elizabeth

    Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her practice in Florida. She combines life experience with clinical work to help people who feel stuck by change, loss, or ongoing stress. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults and adolescents facing common life pressures.

    She has worked across inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. That background gives her familiarity with urgent emotional moments and longer-term therapy work. Her approach focuses on practical next steps and finding small changes that add up.

    In sessions she uses person-centered listening alongside evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Motivational Interviewing is part of the way she helps people explore their goals and build motivation for change. The aim is to meet each person where they are and move forward at a manageable pace.

    Elizabeth often helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career shifts, ADHD, and issues around identity and gender. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and fertility or separation difficulties.

    Her work is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions tend to look like listening, reflecting, and trying out new ways of responding. She encourages practical strategies that can fit into everyday life and help people regain a sense of direction.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Elizabeth uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to build motivation for small, achievable change. This approach focuses on listening, asking evocative questions, and helping people notice their own reasons for change.

    She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people live toward their values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT often involves noticing thoughts and learning simple practices to keep moving in the direction a person chooses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what shifts in daily life.

    Finding the right approach is a team effort. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try strategies that fit their life. She adjusts what she uses as people learn what helps and what doesn't.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or another option depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals aim to match the approach and format to each person's needs and routine.
