About Elsbeth
Elsbeth Riemer is a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD challenges, and parenting or family conflicts. Her style is warm and direct, and she often uses light humor to ease tension and build connection.
Elsbeth looks at the whole person and their place in relationships and daily life.
Background and approach
She blends a practical, body-aware view of how stress shows up with talk-based work. That means clients learn skills to manage strong emotions and practice new ways of relating to others. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including the Gottman Method, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior tools.
She adapts methods to each person’s needs instead of following a rigid formula. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what a person can handle. Elsbeth has a master of arts and holds both MA LMHC and MA LMFT credentials.
She brings two decades of clinical experience working with a wide range of life challenges. Her background makes her comfortable addressing trauma, family history, and chronic stress while helping people find clearer direction. Clients meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Elsbeth often draws on the Gottman Method to help people understand interaction patterns and rebuild connection; this approach uses practical exercises and structured conversations to reduce conflict and improve communication. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how early relationship experiences shape current responses and to strengthen a sense of safety in relationships. She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are to support growth and self-understanding.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and pace the work so it fits current needs and energy levels rather than applying a single fixed method.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and try different formats until the best fit is found.
