About me

Hi. My name is Elizabeth and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I am also a certified school counselor and recently left my job as a counselor at a high school to pursue online counseling full-time. I have been working as a counselor for 7 years, primarily in the school setting. I have helped my students with issues such as family problems, academic struggles, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, ADHD, autism, LGBT-issues, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, grief, and suicidal ideation. I am also very familiar with the college admissions process in the USA and can provide career counseling as well.

Before I became a counselor, I was an elementary teacher for 5 years and a mentor for at-risk teenagers for 8 years. I have always had a natural rapport with children and teenagers. Most of my experience is with adolescents, but I also feel comfortable with young adults. I feel comfortable counseling people from a variety of backgrounds, especially those whose backgrounds are different than my own. My entire professional career has been spent with a primarily Hispanic population, but I am comfortable with other cultures, as well.

I am a big fan of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Solutions-focused therapy, but I try to cater my counseling to each client, so I often incorporate different counseling philosophies as needed. As a school counselor, I have many duties not related to counseling. I joined Better Help, so I could use my counseling skills to help more people. I am looking forward to meeting with clients and working together to improve their mental health. I also know how hard it can be to find a time to meet with a counselor, so I offer after-school sessions, for your convenience.

I want to work with my clients to improve their contentment, coping skills, and mental health. I believe it is very important and beneficial to have a nonjudgmental, unbiased person to talk to. This is one of the best parts of counseling. A lot of the teenagers I work with, don't feel like they have anyone they can really talk to. I often use humor to lighten the mood when counseling. I find this helps grow my relationships with my clients.

She is the best person that I’ve met who’s been able to help me we’ve only had three sessions and I’m already feeling better. I’ve gone my whole life since middle school without friends and it’s three sessions. She got me to break out of my shell and talk to my old friends so I strongly strongly recommend her.

After visiting with four other therapists and couldn’t find a good fit I felt that I “clicked” with Elizabeth from our first visit. She has been a great help so far helping me through my struggles. She even checks in on me to see how my week and weekend are going.

Written on Oct 18, 2022 after therapy with Elizabeth for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd

Elizabeth is the most amazing therapist that I've ever met. I learned a lot of tools/knowledge from her, and she's so easy to talk to. I feel so comfortable talking about everything with her. I'm so grateful for the experience, and I hope you'll like her as I do. I wish everyone a healthy and peaceful mind

Written on Sep 13, 2022 after therapy with Elizabeth for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

Elizabeth is a fantastic listener, has down to earth insights, and makes conversation flow easily. As someone with social anxiety and an introverted personality type, I often find it quite difficult opening up about my feelings to others. However, I have felt at great ease speaking with Elizabeth from Day 1.

One thing I greatly appreciate is how she challenges me to turn my negative self-talk and anxious feelings back on themselves — "putting them on trial," as she puts it. I've never had a therapist before who made me feel so much like I was confiding in a longtime friend, rather than speaking to some rigid, impersonal professional. I would highly recommend Elizabeth's services to anyone seeking an empathetic and thoughtful person to help with anything you might be going through on your mental health journey.

Written on Aug 19, 2022 after therapy with Elizabeth for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
