About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Lachendro is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. She combines evidence-based strategies with a client-centered ethos to design individualized treatment plans that address both immediate concerns and longer-term goals. Elizabeth works across a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, anger, intimacy and sexual identity issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family dynamics, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other structured techniques alongside empathic listening and holistic, solution-focused methods to support recovery and personal growth. Elizabeth places emphasis on collaboration - working with each person to define measurable short- and long-term objectives and to build practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She also brings experience addressing blended family issues, attachment and communication difficulties, substance use and relapse prevention, and the specific needs of LGBTQ clients.

As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor trained to assess and treat mental health concerns - Elizabeth aims to help clients move beyond symptom relief toward greater peace, satisfaction, and quality of life through focused, compassionate care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns; it is practical and skill-focused, often useful for managing stress, mood, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and empathic listening, helping clients explore values, identity, and relational concerns while feeling heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to individual strengths and challenges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
