About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Stark is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who has offered psychotherapy for the last 20 years. She earned a bachelor degree in Liberal Studies from Chapman University in 1996 and served as a bilingual peer counselor at a counseling center for victims of domestic violence, an early role that shaped her focus on supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

In 2003 she completed a master of science in Counseling Psychology at National University and since then has provided individual, group, and family therapy across a range of clinical settings. She has worked with clients of all ages and has particular experience addressing depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, career transitions, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her clinical work draws on a mix of evidence-based models, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing, applied in ways that fit each person’s needs. Elizabeth approaches therapy with warmth, empathy, collaboration, and encouragement, aiming to empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She is committed to supporting people through change and growth and looks forward to working with those ready to begin that journey.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for problems such as anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical strategies that can be applied between sessions. Solution-Focused techniques concentrate on clients’ strengths and goals, helping to set concrete steps toward desired changes and proving useful for relationship issues, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered method that supports ambivalent clients in finding internal motivation to change, often used with addictions, behavior change, and readiness for new habits.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor a plan that can evolve as progress is made.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility constraints, or geographic distance. These options allow clients to engage in regular therapy from locations that work for them while maintaining continuity of care and adapting session formats to each person’s comfort and needs.
