Elizabeth Haughey , LPCC

Elizabeth Haughey is a California-licensed therapist with 14 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. She brings a compassionate, respectful style to each therapeutic relationship and centers treatment on the unique needs and goals of every client. As an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, she combines evidence-based methods with an integrative mindset so clients can benefit from multiple approaches when helpful.

Her work is informed by personal experience with therapy, which shaped her commitment to creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. She emphasizes trust and safety as foundations for change, believing that those conditions allow clients to engage more deeply in the work of healing and growth. Elizabeth treats clients with sensitivity and tailors conversations and care plans to each person’s situation rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Elizabeth draws on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Attachment-Based techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to highlight patterns that may be limiting progress and to teach skills that support meaningful change. She frames clients as experts on their own lives while offering new perspectives to help identify behavior patterns and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns that shape how people connect with others - it can be useful for abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and relationship-related trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration so clients lead the pace and direction of their healing while the therapist provides reflection and support.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she integrates techniques as appropriate so treatment evolves with the client. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to access therapists from different locations. These options support consistent engagement and allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance, skills coaching, and emotional support in ways that suit each client’s life.
