About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Toback is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of experience helping people work through relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions. She also supports people facing grief, eating concerns, and LGBT-related challenges. Her practice centers on listening carefully and working with each person’s strengths.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches to understand emotional patterns in relationships and attachment. Elizabeth also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when helpful for symptoms like anxiety or mood shifts.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside talking through painful memories and recurring patterns. She encourages people to name emotions that are hard to put into words and to notice how those emotions shape behavior. Together they look for small changes that can reduce conflict, improve sleep, or ease stress.
Elizabeth has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses body image, codependency, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and dissociation when these come up in therapy.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire so sessions can start focused on the concerns that matter most.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and change patterns in how people experience and express emotions. In online sessions she can use EFT ideas to help clients name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings affect relationships and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what the client finds most important. Online meetings can preserve that focus by centering the client’s concerns and pacing sessions to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers clear skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT techniques can be practiced together and adapted to everyday routines to manage anxiety, low mood, or sleep difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will help the client decide whether EFT, Client-Centered work, CBT tools, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to use worksheets, breathing practices, and skill exercises during the session so tools can be applied between meetings.Areas of expertise
