About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Garibay is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She works in Texas and offers therapy in English and Spanish. She brings a calm, straightforward approach so parents can feel heard and understood quickly.

Elizabeth uses practical tools and real talk rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change. She draws from evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to build coping skills.

Background and approach

She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes feelings and choices. That perspective is important when addressing codependency, substance use, or multicultural concerns. Elizabeth aims to create an environment where a person’s identity and experiences are respected.

Her work also covers relationship stress, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. She helps people break down big problems into small, manageable steps. The goal is clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.

With six years of clinical experience and licensure as an LPC, Elizabeth combines skills from several therapeutic styles. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and practices strategies together in session. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical change.

Approaches and online support for everyday struggles

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so a person can move toward what matters even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with each person to figure out what fits their goals, preferences, and daily life. She may combine techniques from different methods to meet immediate needs and long-term aims, and she reviews progress together as therapy moves forward.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around work, school, and family commitments and to keep momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, practice techniques, and check in on progress in ways that fit a client’s routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

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.
