About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Griffin is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three decades of experience helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She welcomes straightforward conversation and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what is hardest. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with a focus on practical steps that make daily life easier.

She works collaboratively with clients to identify strengths and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include thought-focused tools drawn from cognitive-behavioral approaches along with other counseling methods chosen to fit each person. Elizabeth also offers an option to explore spiritual or faith perspectives when a client wants that included.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of South Carolina and master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and in Education from Southwestern Seminary. Those academic years are paired with long clinical experience across concerns such as depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD challenges.

Elizabeth describes herself as an active listener who helps people notice what drives their reactions and then test new ways of responding. She aims to break big problems into steps that feel manageable. People who seek help for anger-related difficulties often leave with clearer tools for handling triggers and repairing strained connections.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral methods and integrated counseling approaches. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, and depression. Integrated counseling means combining tools from different therapies to match what a person needs in the moment.

She also welcomes exploring spiritual beliefs when a client wants to include that dimension, using those conversations to support meaning-making and coping. All of this is discussed collaboratively so the plan reflects a client’s goals and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful and realistic. That teamwork shapes the steps taken in session and the homework or practice between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work when life events make in-person visits difficult, while keeping the focus on practical strategies for managing anger and stress.
