Elizabeth Aulds

Elizabeth Aulds is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and questions about life purpose.

She approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert in their own story. Sessions center on identifying strengths already present and using them to manage symptoms and make choices that fit the client’s values. Elizabeth aims to help people talk through painful events and find practical ways to move forward.

Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those approaches are used to build coping skills, reduce avoidance, and improve emotional regulation.

In session she helps clients learn concrete strategies for managing anxiety and mood swings, for processing grief, and for facing difficult life transitions. Conversations may include values clarification, skill-building, and experimenting with new behaviors between sessions.

Elizabeth offers straightforward, goal-focused sessions that prioritize what matters to each person. She supports parents and caregivers dealing with role strain, people navigating separation or divorce, and those questioning what comes next in midlife or after big changes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed action toward those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps by linking small actions to a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and day-to-day needs. That might mean combining ACT with CBT strategies and mindfulness exercises, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness practice and skills training from familiar surroundings. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions can be arranged in ways that fit routines and technical comfort.
