About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Toback is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with decades of experience. She centers her work on Emotional Focused ways of understanding emotions while listening closely to each person's story. She aims to make the first step toward change feel possible and manageable.
In sessions she treats relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, issues with intimacy, and sleep problems. She also helps people who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction-related patterns.
Background and approach
She works with concerns related to LGBT identity, grief, eating, and family stress, and attends to attachment and abandonment issues as needed. Her approach balances gentle listening with practical tools. She uses client-centered care to follow each person's priorities.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and DBT skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about concrete steps to try between sessions. She pays attention to patterns in relationships, communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries.
Practical strategies often include mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice to change what isn't working. Elizabeth brings 38 years of clinical experience to her work. She sees the person, not just the problem, and encourages people to use their existing strengths.
Her goal is to help people build clearer connections with themselves and others and reduce the day-to-day burdens that make life harder.

Online support
How emotion-focused work translates to online therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy helps people identify and make sense of strong feelings and the patterns that follow. It focuses on accessing emotions in the moment to strengthen connections and reduce repeated conflicts or avoidant behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy relies on active listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and a clearer sense of self. It is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort priorities and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that might fit best. That plan can change as the relationship develops and as what helps becomes clearer.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and allow for shorter, focused exchanges between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to try different ways of meeting therapy goals.
