About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Ivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Elizabeth prefers straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit each person’s pace and life.
She uses approaches that encourage people to notice what matters to them and take small, manageable actions toward those values. Before independent practice, Elizabeth volunteered and worked for years at a local shelter where she supported people rebuilding their lives after crisis.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her focus on trauma, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and taught her how to combine empathy with real-world strategies. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Midwestern State University in 2015. In sessions she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy among other techniques.
These methods help people clarify values, practice acceptance, and develop concrete steps for change. Elizabeth adapts the tools she uses to what each person needs in the moment rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Her working style is collaborative and paced to the client.
She often describes her role as a guide who points out options while clients choose their direction. That approach aims to build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and support steady progress. Elizabeth offers services in English and conducts sessions online through several formats.
She holds Texas license TX LPC 75302 and brings practical, person-focused care to parents and individuals seeking support with family and parenting concerns and related life challenges.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy and reflection to support insight and growth. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical changes and clear goals, using brief, action-oriented steps to move toward specific outcomes.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she tailors a mix of ACT, client-centered, and solution-focused techniques so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety allows sessions to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or short written check-ins. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, adapt homework or exercises for home life, and help people make steady progress from wherever they are.
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.
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.
