Elizabeth Griffin, LMHC

Elizabeth Griffin is a licensed mental health counselor with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family strains. She works with concerns around intimacy, parenting, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Elizabeth aims to be compassionate and nonjudgmental while listening actively to what matters most to each person.

She takes a collaborative approach in sessions. Elizabeth helps people identify strengths, notice patterns that cause pain, and try practical steps to change what isn’t working. She uses Cognitive-Behavioral ideas alongside other counseling approaches to tailor the work to each person’s needs. She can include spiritual themes when clients want that integrated into care.

Elizabeth trained in psychology and marriage and family therapy and holds a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Master’s in Education. She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC, and she combines formal study with many years of hands-on clinical practice.

Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Elizabeth balances active listening with gentle challenge and skills practice so people leave with tools they can use between meetings. She expects therapy to be a team effort where both the therapist and the person seeking help shape the path forward.

Her work emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Elizabeth encourages curiosity about habits and reactions and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Elizabeth uses Cognitive-Behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This method is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. She also draws on marriage and family therapy perspectives to look at relationship patterns and communication habits that affect family and intimate relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, making the process collaborative and responsive to personal needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy fit into busy lives by reducing travel time and letting people schedule sessions during breaks or between errands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is useful, and it can accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and methods to match each person’s goals and circumstances.
