About Elizabeth
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California and Texas, Elizabeth Elliott-Staggs brings 30 years of clinical experience focused on addictions, relationships, trauma, and related concerns. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, eating challenges, and identity issues among others. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Elizabeth emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than jargon.
Elizabeth listens for what matters most and helps people name the problems they want to change. She talks through relationship conflict, intimacy questions, and issues that stem from trauma or abuse. When addictions or compulsive behaviors are present, she supports clients in identifying patterns and trying manageable adjustments.
Her work addresses life transitions such as divorce and separation, career changes, postpartum depression, and losses that lead to grief. She also helps people work through multicultural concerns, questions of life purpose, and struggles with self-love. Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are addressed directly with strategies to reduce their hold on daily life.
Elizabeth aims to create an environment where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. That includes discussing difficult topics like infidelity, forgiveness, and sexual orientation. She frames sessions around clarity and concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and logistics before booking.

How Elizabeth applies evidence-based approaches online
Elizabeth works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves structured interventions to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. This style helps when low mood, worry, or overwhelm make daily tasks harder.Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by helping clients make sense of distressing experiences and develop coping skills for upsetting memories and triggers. This method is useful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress, abuse histories, or intense emotional reactions tied to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and priorities shift.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, easier check-ins during work breaks, and options for shorter or phone-based meetings when video is difficult. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals aim to shape sessions so therapy fits into everyday life rather than replacing it.
