Lizbeth Borener, LMSW

Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 20 years of practice, Lizbeth Borener helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works directly with adults who are facing separation, workplace strain, social anxiety, or feelings of isolation. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague theory.

Her work leans on several structured approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift it into more workable patterns. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques support short-term coping and clearer decision-making.

Lizbeth pays attention to relationship patterns that keep people stuck. She addresses abandonment concerns, attachment dynamics, and communication problems with grounded exercises and conversation. When separation or divorce is part of the story, she helps clients sort through choices and next steps in manageable pieces.

Grief and trauma-related issues are handled with pacing that respects each person’s readiness. For workplace problems and money-related stress, she emphasizes practical strategies that reduce daily strain. She also supports people navigating social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and women’s emotional concerns.

Her sessions combine listening with concrete tools - thought records, behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and short-term goal planning. People who want a direct, skills-oriented approach that still leaves room for emotional processing often find this style useful.
