Elizabeth Diaz

Elizabeth Diaz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and life changes. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, LGBT matters, and career and purpose questions. Diaz draws on years working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. She combines clinical methods with personal experience of life change and uncertainty. In sessions she talks through what is happening now, identifies what matters to the client, and helps them try concrete steps that match their goals. Her approach includes techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with different ways of responding. She also uses client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. Gottman Method tools are available for addressing some relationship concerns. People who come to Diaz are often unsure what comes next after a change, or stuck in routines that no longer fit. She hears practical problems such as parenting strain, work doubts, fertility concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and homework to test new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients may be accepted; confirm language and scheduling details before booking. To begin, complete the site questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

Using ACT, CBT and client-centered work in online sessions

Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, and to clarify what matters most. ACT can be helpful for people stuck in avoidance or who feel unclear about priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, low mood, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, which means conversations are guided by the client’s concerns and pace rather than a set script.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options and adjust techniques based on your goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together what methods to try and how to measure progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical advantages help people test changes while keeping therapy manageable within everyday life.
