About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Ivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor who takes a straightforward, person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Liz draws on eight years of counseling experience in Texas to guide sessions with practical, doable steps.
She works from a collaborative stance, meeting each person where they are. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs and their pace for change.
Background and approach
That often means identifying small, concrete actions to practice between meetings and checking what is or isn’t working. Her background includes years of work at a local shelter, where she supported people rebuilding their lives after abuse and other traumatic events. That experience informs how she helps people process trauma, handle compassion fatigue, and rebuild safety and routine.
Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused strategies. These methods help with clarity around values, stronger self-talk, and finding immediate, practical steps for daily problems like panic, seasonal mood shifts, or workplace stress. Liz describes her role as a guide.
She helps people name goals, spot patterns that get in the way, and practice different ways of responding. The emphasis is on steady progress, not sudden fixes, and on building skills that last.
Using ACT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult feelings that come up, and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and pace, offering reflective listening and validation to help build self-understanding and confidence. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and what’s already working, then builds short-term strategies to create change quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means trying things, checking results, and adjusting the plan together so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats 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 lower bandwidth or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins, on-the-go reflections, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
