About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Lee is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and related life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a decade of clinical experience to help clients navigate grief, parenting challenges, family problems, and issues tied to attachment, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin wounds. Elizabeth also addresses concerns such as postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth experiences, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Her approach blends several trauma-informed methods, including Internal Family Systems and EMDR, with client-centered and attachment-based principles to support emotional processing and relational healing. Sessions may incorporate creative expression when words feel limited, and treatment is shaped around each person’s needs and cultural context.

Elizabeth is fluent in English and Spanish and provides care through a range of online formats to increase accessibility for clients across California.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Internal Family Systems is an approach that helps clients notice and relate to the many internal parts that shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; it can be useful for examining inner conflicts, protecting parts, and building self-leadership after trauma or chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional safety, offering opportunities to repair attachment wounds and improve connection with others. EMDR uses structured processing to support the brain's ability to work through distressing memories and symptoms that continue to affect daily functioning.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their goals, experiences, and preferences. That partnership guides how sessions unfold and which tools are introduced over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to access support from home. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing, consistent work while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
