About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Diaz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate big life changes and painful emotions. She brings 12 years of experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Elizabeth holds the LMHC credential and the LPC credential and practices in Florida.

Background and approach
In sessions she listens for patterns in stories and helps people try different ways of responding. Elizabeth uses narrative ideas alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She helps people name the stories that shape them and then test new stories in small steps.
That process is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns. Parents, professionals, and people facing relationship or career shifts will find direct, straightforward support. She also works with trauma, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiving stress, ADHD-related struggles, and intimacy issues.
Sessions combine practical tools with attention to personal meaning. Her manner is collaborative and down-to-earth. People who want to explore how past stories affect current choices will find a steady listener and a hands-on partner in planning next steps.
Work can include short-term coaching or longer-term therapy depending on the person’s needs.

Online session options
How narrative and ACT approaches fit into online care
Elizabeth often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves and take committed steps toward what matters. Narrative work helps identify recurring storylines that keep people stuck, and then tests alternative stories in daily life. ACT focuses on values and small actions, teaching practical skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life rather than committing to one fixed method up front.
Online therapy supports these methods through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits someone's schedule. These options make it easier to fit work on stories and values into a busy life.
