About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She practices from Florida and offers a practical, down-to-earth style. Her work often focuses on worry, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger management among other concerns.
Clients can expect a calm, client-centered approach. She listens first, then helps people set short- and long-term goals. Plans are tailored to what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
Her sessions blend problem-solving tools with acceptance and mindfulness skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical and motivational strategies are added when people need emotion regulation or help finding motivation for change.
Elizabeth also helps with relationship and identity concerns, grief, sleep and eating struggles, and the stress that comes from caregiving and career pressures. She works with people facing substance use and recovery challenges, and supports those coping with past abuse or trauma. She speaks English and meets people where they are in the moment.
Therapy aims to reduce distress and build everyday skills so life feels more manageable. New clients start by filling out a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then act toward values that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and some eating or sleep issues.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan until it fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, travel, or recovery schedules.
