Raised south of Houston, Texas, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Master of Science in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman's University north of Dallas. Her training and background inform a practice focused on providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and focus of each session.

Across nine years of clinical work, Elizabeth has supported clients in a variety of roles, including applied behavior analysis for children aged 2 to 12, play therapy for children aged 4 to 10, activity-based interventions with adolescents, individual talk therapy for teens and adults, and group therapy for adolescent and adult groups. She also brings three years of experience in middle school education as an academic counselor and administrator, which adds practical insight into school-related challenges and young people’s needs.

To reach more clients, Elizabeth has provided services through online counseling services such as the platform and Global Teletherapy, focusing on children (ages 5 to 12), teens (13 to 18), and young adults (19 to 35). She primarily practices Person-Centered Counseling - also called Rogerian therapy - which emphasizes empathy and supports clients in leading the conversation and self-reflection. Elizabeth also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. She holds the credentials LPC and LPCC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and works from Texas. Elizabeth welcomes the opportunity to support clients as they navigate stress, relationships, identity, trauma, grief, and life transitions, and she looks forward to working with those seeking guidance and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore concerns at their own pace; it is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support clients dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or self-management challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual. This collaborative stance helps ensure the chosen methods fit the client's life and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy schedules and reach clients across distances. Working remotely with licensed professionals and therapists allows sessions to occur from home, work, or while traveling, increasing access to consistent care and enabling ongoing work on goals between in-person options.
