Elizabeth Aulds, LMHC

Elizabeth Aulds is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Elizabeth aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and make small changes that improve daily functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques are offered to teach simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and ease intense emotions.

Elizabeth also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered methods guide the conversation so clients set the pace and decide what matters most in sessions. These approaches are used together to match what each person needs that week.

She has supported people facing relationship strain, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife change. Other areas of focus include family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, impulsivity, and mood disorders.

Sessions are delivered by a Florida LMHC and conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

Approaches that fit daily life and online care

Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and small behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it focuses on practical steps and experiments you can try between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clarify personal values and guide committed action even when hard emotions are present. ACT supports people who want to reduce avoidance and build a life aligned with what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. If an approach isn’t working, the plan can shift to better match what you need that week.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow quicker weekly check-ins when needed. Some formats work better for quieter conversations while others make it easier to use video tools or worksheets; the therapist and client can decide together what best fits daily routines and goals.
