About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as self-esteem and anger.
Her approach centers on the client. She uses a client-centered stance and works with people to set clear short- and long-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and listening rather than jargon. Elizabeth blends evidence-based techniques to address day-to-day problems and longer-standing patterns.
She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and build actions that fit a person's life. Mindfulness skills and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy may also appear when emotion regulation or stress tolerance is needed.
Elizabeth has worked in mental health, family and relationship counseling, and substance use settings. That background shapes a straightforward style aimed at reducing distress and improving routine functioning. She helps people sort through practical struggles like sleep, eating, work stress, parenting strains, and intimacy-related concerns.
People who choose her often want clear collaboration. She will work with each person to design an individualized plan and adjust methods as progress is made. Prospective clients who want to learn more are encouraged to review online therapy options and complete the intake steps before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them. It helps when someone feels stuck by avoidance or conflicting priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss goals and preferences and combine methods that fit a person's needs. The plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges appear.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue with therapy when relocating or living outside the therapist's immediate area. Discuss practical scheduling needs when you complete the matching questionnaire and set up your first session.
