Elizabeth Edouard , LPC

With 12 years of experience in the mental health field, Elizabeth Edouard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. Her path into counseling began after undergraduate work and early roles supporting older adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia, where she became curious about how upbringing, environment, and support systems shape mental health.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Kean University in New Jersey and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University in Georgia. During graduate training she completed internships in two very different settings - working with adolescents in a school environment and supporting adults in a county jail. Those experiences informed a career that has included work in psychiatric hospitals, senior living communities, community mental health clinics, and crisis support for Veterans.

Elizabeth’s services are focused on adults age 18 and older from diverse backgrounds. She supports people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family challenges, mood disorders, and other life transitions. Her style is open minded, empathetic, and goal oriented, and she integrates a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Adlerian therapy, and psychodynamic concepts to tailor care to each person’s needs.

As an LPC she holds a state counseling license and brings practical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional and interpersonal concerns while working toward clearer goals and improved day to day coping.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Elizabeth integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Mindfulness Therapy when working with adults. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their values and goals while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and practical strategies for managing stress, emotional reactivity, and overwhelming thoughts, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and life circumstances evolve. Therapy is a team effort aimed at practical, achievable change.

Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain consistency during transitions, and access support from home or work while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
