About Elisabeth
Elisabeth "Lis" Werth is a licensed marriage and family therapist who aims to help people manage anger, stress, and anxiety. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real-life changes. Her tone is encouraging and practical for someone making a first step toward feeling better.
She starts by listening to what matters most to each person. She asks about daily routines, things that trigger strong emotions, and what small changes would help.
Background and approach
Then she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and basic tools to try between sessions. With three years of professional experience as a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT, Lis draws on approaches that have shown results for mood and behavior concerns. She uses plain language rather than jargon.

She also helps people who are navigating identity questions and non-traditional relationship styles. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Lis emphasizes small, doable steps so progress feels realistic.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many of the approaches Lis uses focus on practical skills people can try between sessions. One common technique teaches emotion regulation strategies - simple practices for recognizing triggers, slowing reactions, and responding with a chosen action rather than an automatic one. This helps with anger, impulsivity, and mood swings.Another frequently used approach emphasizes improving attention and routines to support concentration and memory. That work breaks tasks into smaller steps, builds predictable habits, and experiments with environmental changes to reduce distractions. It is useful for people with ADHD-like challenges and for anyone struggling with focus.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods, review what fits, and adjust the plan so it feels manageable and meaningful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen tools for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
