About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Dahlberg-Lee practices with a client-centered approach that keeps the person and their experience at the center of therapy. She is an LPC-MHSP and LPC and brings 11 years of counseling work to sessions in New Jersey. Her focus is on meeting people where they are and helping them move forward at a steady, manageable pace.

She helps people facing grief, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy questions, addictions, and changes like childbirth, aging, or career shifts. Practical coping skills and clearer decision-making are common goals in her work.

Elizabeth often uses emotionally-focused conversations to help people understand their needs and patterns in relationships. She also draws on EMDR approaches for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person's goals. Mindfulness practices are used to slow down strong emotions and develop steadier regulation day to day.

Her background includes work with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and family of origin issues. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through abandonment wounds, codependency, isolation, or feelings of emptiness without judgment.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. The therapist helps clients set realistic goals and teaches tools for self-compassion, better communication, and managing hard moments. People leave with practical steps to try between meetings and clearer next actions for their lives.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to address what matters most. Online sessions can keep that same tone, with the therapist helping people set the agenda, reflect feelings, and build self-compassion in each meeting.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful patterns in relationships and attachment. When used online, EFT work can include guided conversations about needs and responses, helping clients try new ways of connecting and communicating.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a way of processing upsetting memories so they feel less intense. Elements of EMDR can be adapted to remote work when those methods fit a person's goals and pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapist-client process. The clinician will discuss these options during early sessions and together decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family demands, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to meet without travel time.
