Elizabeth Webber-Mikaele

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I’m Elizabeth Webber-Mikaele, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have spent my career supporting children, teens, and adults through life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and practical tools for change.

My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Multicultural Social Services from the University of Washington and a Master’s degree in Education with a School Counseling certification, along with National Board Certification in School Counseling. I am also a National Certified Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, which allows me to mentor and supervise counseling professionals across the country.

Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and clinical settings, helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for working with women, adolescents, and children, helping them build confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed approaches while tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
