About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Griffin is a Florida LMHC with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain. Her work also includes relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

She offers a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions focus on identifying what is not working at home and testing practical changes. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. For clients who wish to bring faith into sessions, she is comfortable including a spiritual perspective.

Her methods draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside other counseling theories. That means working on thoughts, behaviors, and small routines that affect daily life. She also pays attention to how relationships and family dynamics shape stress at home.

Elizabeth blends formal training with long experience. She holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a master’s in Education, plus a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She points to decades of practice as shaping how she listens and plans work with people.

Sessions tend to be practical and steady. Early meetings usually focus on immediate coping and then move toward longer term pattern change. People who want to include spiritual beliefs can do so, and those who do not prefer that approach can focus strictly on behavioral and cognitive strategies.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Elizabeth draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts and routines shape emotions and behavior. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what helped or didn’t help. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

She also uses elements from family-focused and systemic thinking to notice how home relationships affect daily stress. That can include mapping patterns between household members and trying new ways of communicating or setting limits that reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining cognitive-behavioral strategies with family-focused ideas and a spiritual perspective when desired.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. A remote meeting can make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work, and other household responsibilities.
