About Elizabeth
She creates an open space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions are conversational and focused on the issues that matter most to the client. The goal is to identify manageable steps that fit day-to-day life rather than overwhelming plans.
Her approach combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and tailoring the conversation to the person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on patterns of thinking and behavior that can be shifted to reduce stress and improve functioning.
Dr. Parr has worked across many concerns over nearly two decades, including abandonment, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, family of origin issues, and intellectual disability. She also addresses common struggles such as communication problems, codependency, impulsivity, hoarding, guilt, and forgiveness.
People who prefer practical, down-to-earth conversations about real-life problems may find her style helpful. She supports clients in setting small goals, testing new approaches, and tracking what works so progress is clear and steady.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and following the client's lead. It focuses on understanding each person's priorities and building a respectful conversation that fits their life. This can help with relationship stress, parenting worries, and feeling stuck during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to see what helps. It is practical and problem-focused, which can be useful for ADHD-related challenges, impulsivity, or managing anxiety and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they match your routine and practical constraints.
