Lizbeth Borener

Lizbeth Borener is a licensed social worker with 20 years of clinical experience helping people through difficult life moments. She supports adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at reducing day-to-day overwhelm and restoring a sense of balance.

She creates a calm, accepting space where clients can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Many people come for help with social anxiety, workplace stress, or the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She also helps those who feel isolated or stuck after a loss or major life change.

Her approach draws on therapies that teach new skills and shift unhelpful patterns. Clients learn ways to manage anxious thoughts, tolerate strong feelings, and act in line with what matters to them. Practical tools are paired with time to reflect and make sense of difficult experiences.

Lizbeth pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and the specific pressures women often face. She supports better communication, healthier boundaries, and clearer decision making around money or work stress. The goal is to help people regain steady footing and move forward with more confidence.

Lizbeth holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To begin, she asks about immediate goals and adapts her work to each person’s needs.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Lizbeth uses practical therapies that people can apply between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult feelings without getting ruled by them and taking actions that match personal values; it can be helpful for stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lizbeth discusses goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts techniques as needed. This collaborative planning helps people try tools and change course when something isn’t working.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks. It also allows practice of skills in everyday settings and keeps continuity when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can guide how to use these sessions to build coping skills and address trauma, anxiety, and other concerns without promising a specific format.
