About Elisabeth
Dr. Elisabeth Robbins is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. She also supports people navigating caregiver stress and aging concerns.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking and narrative ideas to reframe personal stories. Internal Family Systems work is part of how she helps people notice different inner parts and their roles.
Dr. Robbins pays attention to how family of origin issues shape current behavior. She helps people see patterns that began in childhood and how those patterns affect relationships today. Sessions include problem-focused work and moments to reflect on values and meaning.
She is interested in how shame, spirituality, and even large-scale stressors such as climate-related events affect mental health. That can become part of the conversation when it matters to the person in front of her.
She has a history of working with mood disorders and supports people facing end-of-life planning, hospice concerns, and grief. Practical tools, short-term goal setting, and ongoing reflection are common elements of her work.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in California. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to complete an online matching questionnaire before scheduling a first meeting.
Approach-focused online sessions and practical work
Dr. Robbins commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves, separate problems from identity, and try different ways of describing their lives.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss which approaches fit the person's goals, preferences, and current concerns, and they adjust the plan together as work proceeds.
