About Lizbeth
Lizbeth Borener, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She offers calm, straightforward support for adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Conversations focus on practical steps and what matters most to each person.
With 20 years of clinical experience in Michigan, she guides clients through depression, trauma recovery, and social anxiety. She also addresses workplace strain, attachment concerns, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. Money and financial issues are a named focus area she can help people talk through alongside other stressors.
Her sessions emphasize listening first, then helping people try small, manageable shifts. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns that get in the way. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are used to reduce reactivity and build steadier coping skills.
She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work practical and goal oriented. This means the conversation is shaped by each person’s priorities, and progress is measured in real-world changes. Communication skills and strategies for reducing isolation are common targets.
People seeking help can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and a focus on what will make daily life easier. The work aims to improve functioning and increase a person’s ability to handle challenging emotions and situations.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice stuck thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and making life changes when worry keeps someone from moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change how someone feels. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress by giving clear tools to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients can expect choices and explanations rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use techniques like mindfulness or behavioral experiments in the settings where they occur, with guidance from the therapist about how to practice between sessions.
