Elizabeth Lent, LMHC

Elizabeth Lent helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She meets people who feel stuck by big life changes or weighed down by expectations. Elizabeth writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy professionals can follow practical steps. She has five years of clinical experience and holds an MA and an LMHC credential.

Before moving into private practice, Elizabeth worked for many years in a school setting. That background gives her a clear sense of the pressures educators, school staff, and caregivers experience every day. She uses that perspective to make therapy realistic and relevant to daily life.

Her sessions focus on finding small, achievable changes. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more useful options. Practical skill building is paired with compassion so people can try new behaviors without feeling judged.

Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. These approaches help people manage symptoms, clarify priorities, and set short-term goals that lead to steady change. Techniques are chosen to match each person’s needs and goals.

People come to Elizabeth to improve communication, navigate parenthood adjustment, cope with caregiver stress, and work through feelings of isolation, guilt, or shame. She emphasizes building self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and routines that support daily functioning. The work is collaborative and paced to fit busy lives.

How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

Elizabeth frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT breaks problems into clear steps and suggests concrete exercises that work well over video or messaging. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work and teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve stress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video is useful for longer sessions and skills practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while still focusing on real change.
