Elizabeth Aulds, LMHC

Elizabeth Aulds is a licensed mental health counselor who centers therapy on the person in the room. She draws on practical, evidence-informed tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Elizabeth encourages clients to use their own strengths as a foundation for change and offers a calm, respectful presence during hard conversations.

With 14 years of experience practicing in Florida, Elizabeth focuses on common but heavy challenges like trauma and abuse, coping with loss, relationship concerns, and midlife crisis. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, issues with control, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.

Her approach mixes several well-known methods. Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and accept difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new skills. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when clients need emotion regulation and grounding techniques.

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Elizabeth treats clients as the expert on their life and helps them set practical, achievable goals. She offers guidance, skill teaching, and space to process painful experiences.

People who reach out can expect a therapist who listens without judgment and focuses on usable tools. Beginning therapy is framed as a courageous step, and Elizabeth aims to make the next steps clear and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Elizabeth will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines ideas from different approaches as needed and adjusts the work based on feedback and progress.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let clients use methods like mindfulness exercises or thought-records during their normal day, so new skills can be practiced between sessions.
