Elizabeth Skaff, LISW

Elizabeth Skaff is an Ohio LISW with 24 years of clinical experience. She began her work after earning a master’s degree in 1999 and has spent decades supporting adults with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles and other life changes.

She spent early years working in an inpatient psychiatric unit, primarily with children and adolescents while coordinating with families and schools. After obtaining her independent license she moved into private practice and expanded the range of people she sees. For the last decade she has focused mainly on young adults and adults.

Clients bring a wide range of concerns. Common topics include transitioning to adulthood, family stress, parenting pressures, self-control and decision making, self-esteem, mood issues, addictive behaviors, ADHD, and blended family issues. She also addresses communication problems, commitment concerns, divorce and separation, and financial stress when these affect daily life.

Her work blends several practical approaches. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to link thoughts, feelings, and actions and to try out different ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, achievable steps toward clearer goals.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, everyday strategies. She talks through problems, helps set short-term goals, and practices ways to change unhelpful patterns. People often use this to manage stress, improve relationships, or cope with big changes in life.
