About Lizbeth
Lizbeth Borener, LMSW, offers calm, steady support for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She builds a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful experiences. Sessions focus on practical steps - learning coping skills, improving communication, and managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress or social anxiety. She often helps people navigate relationship endings, workplace strain, and the loneliness that follows big changes.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns and feelings of abandonment that can shape how people relate to others. She also supports clients working on forgiveness, money stress, and women's emotional wellness. Conversations are grounded in everyday language and aimed at small, doable changes.
Lizbeth uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based tools. She encourages clients to notice what works, try new strategies, and set realistic goals for progress.
With 20 years in practice in Michigan, she brings experience without pressure. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort, helping people regain steadiness and move forward from difficult chapters.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, making room for honest conversation and emotional reflection. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady presence while they sort things out. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical ways to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it often involves trying new skills between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Decisions about timing, pace, and techniques are made collaboratively so the plan feels useful and doable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care when life brings changes, while the therapist and client adjust approaches to match concerns and progress.
