About Elisabeth
Elisabeth Zaragoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses an approachable, client-centered style. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, and related life changes. She brings 16 years of counseling and case management experience to her sessions.
Elisabeth aims to make therapy a straightforward, caring place for people to talk and find practical steps forward. Her work often centers on helping people navigate parenting challenges, relationship shifts, and the heavy emotions that follow loss.
Background and approach
She combines practical problem-solving with close listening. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can improve daily life. Elisabeth integrates client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
She uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals. Narrative therapy helps reframe difficult experiences into meaningful stories clients can move forward from. She draws on personal experience with pregnancy complications and family loss to bring empathy to conversations about grief and family transitions.
That background informs how she talks about coping skills, emotional adjustment, and shifting family roles. In sessions she aims to help people name what matters, try specific strategies, and track progress. The tone is practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on steady steps rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online family and parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and following each person’s pace. The therapist creates space for parents and family members to share what matters most and then helps identify practical next steps. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure or stuck about change; it uses gentle questions to build motivation and clarify goals. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. It can help reframe difficult events like loss or transition so they feel more manageable and meaningful.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elisabeth will talk with clients about their needs and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made based on what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy family schedules. Those options make it easier to attend from home, between appointments, or while juggling parenting tasks. The variety of formats supports steady progress even when routines are unpredictable.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
