About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Tebo is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in California. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, mood changes, and self-esteem concerns. Elizabeth centers the work on each person’s strengths and choices. She invites clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling life while offering steady support along the way.

Over 20 years Elizabeth has worked with people facing trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career or caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, fertility and hospice concerns, and the strain that first responders can face. Her background includes work with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar conditions and with people managing major life transitions.

Elizabeth uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges. Sessions often include mindful awareness, breathing and body-focused strategies, and tools to reframe unhelpful thinking. She aims to make therapy concrete and doable so clients can use what they learn between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Elizabeth treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths. She encourages small, manageable steps and checks progress as goals shift.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches connect with online therapy

Elizabeth often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful ways of looking at situations; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood through practical exercises and behavior changes. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy is another common strand, with short attention and breathing practices that lower stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then shape the plan together. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques to focus on and how to adapt them to everyday life.

For practical matters, confirm the currently offered session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practicing skills between meetings in the settings where challenges happen, so the work can feel more immediately useful.
