About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shields is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with four years of clinical experience in Nebraska. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, relationship problems, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on building a reliable therapeutic relationship and steady practical work rather than quick fixes.
She uses a person-centered style that keeps the client’s goals and values at the center. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the client and progress can move at a comfortable pace. She pays attention to the whole person, including how caregiving responsibilities and chronic challenges affect daily life.
Elizabeth draws on several evidence-informed approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, specific changes. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy issues.
Practical coping skills are part of most sessions. That can include ways to manage angry reactions, strategies to reduce rumination, sleep-related routines, and steps to rebuild strained communication. Work can also focus on values, meaning, and what a person wants their life to look like.
She has a particular interest in supporting caregivers, and speaks from personal experience as a parent of a child with multiple disabilities. Elizabeth offers therapy in English and accepts international clients; session logistics should be confirmed before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in session. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that align with their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep disruption.She also draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationship or intimacy issues come up. These approaches pay attention to patterns in close relationships and aim to improve emotional connection and communication. The therapist and client work together to decide which blend of approaches fits the person’s goals and preferences.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule meetings around work or caregiving. A collaborative conversation about goals and practical constraints helps shape how therapy proceeds.
