Background and approach
Elizabeth listens, helps people clarify their goals, and adapts approaches to what each person needs in the moment. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective habits. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness tools to reduce stress and reactivity.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support finding the energy for change. Elizabeth has eight years of counseling experience and trained at Lamar University. She holds a Texas LPC credential and brings a warm, open attitude to sessions.
She describes counseling as a partnership and invites people to share at their own pace. People who choose her often want practical strategies plus space to talk through painful experiences.

Her approach blends problem-solving with steady emotional support.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Elizabeth blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas to help people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients can talk freely and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking and practical behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to try first, adjust methods as progress is made, and respect personal preferences and pace. That way sessions stay focused on real goals like reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or managing mood swings.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or ongoing practice between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to use therapeutic tools consistently without rearranging an entire day.
