About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, and low self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at practical change.
Elizabeth uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She works with people coping with relationship and intimacy fears, parenting strain, career stress, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She also supports those navigating identity questions, body image concerns, and the emotional aftermath of abuse. Her background includes several years working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, which shaped her focus on trauma recovery and related issues like depression and eating difficulties. That experience informs how she addresses reminders of past events that still affect daily life.
Elizabeth understands caregiver stress and compassion fatigue from time spent in education and social services. She also has personal experience with foster and adoptive parenting and familiarity with the Texas foster care system, which can help when parenting stress intersects with a child’s trauma history.
In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental and affirming of people across the LGBT spectrum and varied belief systems. Her style emphasizes clear tools and collaborative problem-solving so people can make steady, manageable changes.
Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Tools Online
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing effects, which can help with post-traumatic stress and intrusive reminders.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend and try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact over time.
