Hi! I am Dr. Elizabeth Gittens, a licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D) in the state of Florida. My extensive experience with diverse populations allows me to better understand my clients and help them achieve their therapeutic goals. I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral, acceptance commitment, and solution-focused allowing me to customize treatment for each individual based on their needs. I received my training at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the Miami VA, specializing in Health Psychology.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and a full intake, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with a wide range of individuals for the past 7 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with teenagers and adults who are eager to improve their overall wellbeing, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I've been using ACT for the past 3 years as a way to increase psychological flexibility and encouraged accepting thoughts and feelings without judgement while committing to actions that align with personal values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT for the past six years. It’s helped several of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. That knowledge will then be utilized to challenge your thinking patterns, which will help you promote an overall better quality of life.
Christian Counseling
I've been using Christian counseling for the past 7 years, solely based on Biblical principles.
Faith based therapy
I specialize in utilizing my client's faith-based beliefs to promote overall mind, body and soul wellness.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize motivational interviewing often to challenge and guide you in achieving your goals.
