About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Her sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on naming feelings that are hard to recognize. Elizabeth draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape relationship and personal patterns. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people try different ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.
Elizabeth takes a client-centered stance in session, listening closely and working at the client’s pace. Conversations often include checking how a strategy feels in daily life and adjusting it when needed. Practical steps and simple experiments are common parts of the work.
She has experience helping people cope with complex situations such as loss, trauma, caregiver stress, blended family tensions, and the interactions of multiple diagnoses. Elizabeth also addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, dissociation, and separation after divorce.

How Elizabeth Uses EFT, ACT and CBT Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It is often used when people want to understand how feelings shape their reactions in relationships and daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That might mean focusing more on emotions in some sessions and using skill-building or acceptance strategies in others.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote appointments make consistent work easier while still covering emotional topics and practical skill practice with a licensed professional.
