Elizabeth Mazak, LMHC

Elizabeth Mazak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, intimacy-related issues, sleep troubles, career worries, compassion fatigue, and ADHD challenges.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses conversations to help people spot patterns that cause distress and to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one method she incorporates to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to build tolerance for difficult feelings.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She works together with clients to create manageable steps, whether the focus is on grief, relationship repair, or improving daily routines. She frames progress as gradual and measurable rather than sudden.

In addition to clinical work, she has experience supporting concerns tied to aging, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, end-of-life issues, and reproductive transitions. She combines mental health perspectives with a wellness mindset from her background in fitness and nutrition coaching.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She aims to make the therapy space a place where people can be honest, try new skills, and rebuild confidence. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Practical approaches for online care

Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT focuses on clear, short-term goals and exercises people can practice between sessions to see measurable changes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while clarifying their values and taking committed action. ACT can be useful for chronic stress, grief, and life transitions where struggling less with feelings opens space for meaningful choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean combining CBT, ACT, and mindfulness techniques over time and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
