Elizabeth Frietsch, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses practical therapies to help parents and individuals handle stress and trauma. She draws on clear, evidence-based methods to guide short-term problem-solving and deeper work when needed. Her style is direct and compassionate, with attention to everyday challenges like parenting stress, anxiety, and grief.

She began working with trauma survivors and people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault in 2015.

Background and approach

That background shaped her approach to related concerns such as depression, eating and food-related issues, attachment and intimacy fears, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with issues connected to adoption and foster care and understands the pressures of parenting children who have experienced hardship. In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused and trauma-informed methods.

That mix lets her offer coping skills for daily life and step-by-step strategies for processing hard experiences. She keeps language plain and focuses on what a parent or person can do between sessions to feel steadier. Elizabeth is comfortable working with LGBT clients and people of diverse or no religious beliefs.

She knows Trust-Based Relational Intervention from parenting work with children who’ve experienced trauma, and she draws on that knowledge when appropriate. She aims to make the room non-judgmental and approachable for people starting therapy. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

She has four years of counseling experience and maintains licensure as LPC in Texas (TX LPC 80008).

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. That approach is practical and useful for everyday problems like stress, sleep issues, and worry.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to gently process memories and reduce the hold of past harm. This work focuses on safety, pacing, and building coping skills so reminders of trauma feel less overwhelming.

Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, solution-focused steps, or trauma-focused work as the situation needs.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. These options let a person connect from home, shift between brief check-ins and longer sessions, and use different formats as needs change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
