01About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Serens is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers a calm, affirming presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Elizabeth works from Virginia and brings 16 years of experience to sessions.

She keeps the first part of work focused on safety and clarity. That means listening without judgment, helping callers name what matters, and breaking problems into manageable steps.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to identify strengths, build coping skills, and reduce harmful behaviors related to substance use and compulsions. Elizabeth often helps clients who feel isolated or overwhelmed by caregiving duties, commitment doubts, or unclear life purpose. She also supports people exploring sexual orientation and non-monogamous relationship choices.

Sessions include attention to emotions like guilt, shame, and emptiness, and to behaviors driven by impulsivity or obsessions. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a collaborative stance. She works with each person to shape goals, pick strategies, and test what helps.

Progress is tracked in simple, concrete ways so clients can see what’s changing. Practical skills are a core part of treatment. Clients may practice communication tools, stress-management exercises, and relapse prevention steps.

Elizabeth aims for steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, compulsive behaviors, and identity concerns. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and relapse prevention. This involves learning specific strategies to manage urges, plan for high-risk situations, and replace harmful habits with healthier routines. It is useful for people working on drug and alcohol issues and impulse-related problems.

Another approach centers on improving communication and self-worth through practical exercises. Clients practice clear ways to express needs, set boundaries, and challenge negative self-talk. This kind of work often helps with relationship stress, commitment doubts, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful, so treatment stays focused on real-life changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help make consistent care easier to maintain while tailoring the format to daily life.
