About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Tebo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of practice in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and the fallout from trauma and loss. Elizabeth uses clear, practical steps and listens for what matters most to each person.
Her work often centers on making sense of strong emotions and painful memories. She helps people with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, family of origin patterns, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing fertility issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the complicated feelings around grief. Elizabeth blends body-centered methods with evidence-based therapies. She brings Somatic approaches together with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are also part of her approach when they fit someone’s needs. Sessions typically include talking through current difficulties and practicing simple, usable skills. She helps people notice how the body holds stress and then tries small changes to ease that tension.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build coping that fits day-to-day life. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Elizabeth frames the person in front of her as the expert on their life while offering guidance and skills from her experience.
She encourages modest steps that add up to clearer thinking and more emotional freedom.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Elizabeth blends Somatic Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Somatic Therapy focuses on noticing how the body holds tension and using simple body-based awareness to reduce physical stress and emotional reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That means some sessions may be more skills-focused, while others invite body awareness or mindfulness practices depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to practice skills in real-life moments. Remote work also allows consistent follow-up and quick check-ins between sessions for people who need ongoing support.
