Elizabeth Diaz, LMHC, LPC

Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and speaks English and Spanish. Elizabeth draws on her personal and professional experience to help people find a way forward when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

She has worked in inpatient and partial hospitalization settings, as well as outpatient treatment. That range of work exposed her to many kinds of life stressors, from acute crises to longer term struggles. She uses that background to steady conversations and offer practical next steps.

Elizabeth uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In sessions she helps people identify values, try new behaviors, and notice patterns that get in the way of change. She keeps the focus on small, usable tools rather than abstract theory.

People come to her for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT and gender identity concerns, career questions, and attention-related struggles. She also addresses related problems such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family conflicts, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work.

Those starting therapy can expect a collaborative style. Elizabeth will listen to what matters most, help set short-term goals, and adjust the plan as needs change. Her approach aims to make daily life more manageable while helping clients move toward the life they want.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on actions you can try between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce anxiety and depressive moods.

The Gottman Method offers focused, practical ways to improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships through structured conversations and exercises.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. That plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is noticed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into day-to-day life, such as fitting a session into a work break or avoiding travel time. Different online arrangements suit different people, so confirm the session options available before booking. The focus is on making therapy usable and practical so skills carry over into everyday routines.
