01About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Chavez is a licensed counselor (LPCC) with two decades of experience in mental health. She brings practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Elizabeth writes plainly and listens closely to understand what a person needs in the moment.
Her work has taken her into intensive psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, substance treatment centers, and community counseling centers across New Mexico. That background gives her experience with crisis moments and longer-term recovery paths.
Background and approach
She looks for realistic tools people can use right away to feel steadier and safer. Elizabeth takes a person-centered approach. Sessions are conversations where the client’s goals and strengths guide the work.
She pays attention to patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people try small changes that add up over time. Her practice blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and dialectical skills when helpful. She also draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or major life decisions.
The exact mix depends on each person’s needs and preferences. People often come for help with relationships, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep or eating struggles, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping after loss or trauma. Elizabeth focuses on building practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steady routines that support recovery and growth.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Online sessions let that conversational style continue over video or chat while the therapist follows each person’s pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood and routine. In online sessions CBT often uses short skill-focused exercises, worksheets, and practical homework that people can try between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills work well in remote formats through brief coaching during chat or phone check-ins and longer video sessions for deeper skill practice.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time if something isn’t helping. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and simpler to schedule. Live chat or messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching, or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life while still working on real change.
