About Elsbeth
Elsbeth Riemer is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, addiction, grief, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and career concerns.
Her style is direct and warm. She mixes practical skills with a focus on emotions and relationships.
Background and approach
Humor is used to ease tension and build connection. She pays attention to how the body and biology affect thoughts and feelings. Elsbeth draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how people bond and interact.
She also uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to teach concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are added when impulsivity or strong emotion needs steadying. Sessions explore current problems and the patterns that keep them repeating.
People can expect clear tools for managing anxiety and mood, plus work on communication and setting boundaries. Therapy includes a mix of talking, experiential exercises, and skill practice between sessions. She practices in Massachusetts and works in English.
Elsbeth’s background in family systems means she considers how relationships and roles shape behavior. Her approach aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and others while gaining useful strategies for everyday life.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work online
Elsbeth uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and shift painful emotional patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on the feelings that drive behavior and helps people form different ways of connecting and responding in important relationships.She also uses attachment-based ideas that look at how early bonds shape current responses to stress and closeness. That work helps people understand why they react certain ways and learn new, more helpful responses. Client-centered techniques are woven in to follow each person’s priorities and pace, keeping sessions grounded in what matters most to the client.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different interventions, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays focused on real-life change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face connection for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat make it easier to fit support into busy schedules or to get brief coaching between sessions.
