About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Lindell Mendez is a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, addictions, mood disorders, and other life changes. She also addresses trauma, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Elizabeth previously managed clinical residential treatment programs and served as a lead counselor facilitating both group and individual therapy. That background means she is familiar with structured care and with supporting people through crisis and recovery. She draws on hands-on practice rather than abstract theory.

Her style is interactive and strength-focused. Sessions are person-centered, aimed at identifying practical steps clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes building better self-regard and clearer daily coping skills rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.

Clinically she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches. She also integrates existential and mindfulness ideas when they help clarify values or reduce reactivity. These methods are used to address mood regulation, relationship patterns, addictive behavior, and recurring anger.

In session Elizabeth helps people map what triggers their reactions, practice new responses, and rehearse ways to repair relationships after heated moments. She works with concrete tools - short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments - and follows the client’s lead when deciding what to focus on next.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in a practical way. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and improve mood. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when anger flares.

She also uses client-centered principles that put the person’s priorities first. That means decisions about what to try next are collaborative. Together the client and therapist decide which methods fit the person’s goals and daily life rather than following a rigid plan.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to try skills where problems actually occur. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online meetings useful for shorter check-ins, practicing coping exercises, and maintaining continuity between in-person visits and remote work with a licensed professional.
