About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kostura, LPC, helps people caught in hard moments take the next step. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and coping with big life changes. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aiming to make small shifts that add up over time.
She has 22 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. That includes panic, PTSD symptoms, grief, divorce, body image struggles, and mood disorders. She also addresses money and financial stress, family-of-origin struggles, and eating and food-related issues.
Kostura has particular experience with first responder issues and with people recovering from sexual assault. She also supports those facing gender dysphoria, postpartum challenges, and problems tied to aging and geriatric change. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas for people dealing with sudden upheaval.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward way. Sessions are collaborative: she listens, helps set goals, and offers practical strategies people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on clear steps and real-world changes rather than jargon.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where their experiences guide the work. Elizabeth aims to help people build skills to manage symptoms, handle transitions, and find steadier ground after difficult events.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and navigate major life changes. One approach focuses on practical skills for coping with anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and paced problem-solving to reduce overwhelming reactions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed methods that help people process distressing events gradually while building safety and stability in everyday routines.Finding the right approach is often a process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match treatment to symptoms, life circumstances, and personal preferences rather than relying on a single method from the start.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
