About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Schobitz is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 15 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma. Elizabeth draws on clear, practical steps so conversations feel focused and useful.

Her tone is warm and straightforward to help parents and individuals who are worried about family and parenting issues. Elizabeth uses short-term tools and longer-term strategies. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thinking and behavior patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build values-based action, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable goals.

Background and approach

When trauma is involved she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy methods that prioritize safety and pacing. Sessions aim to identify small changes that can ease daily strain. She encourages shared planning so people leave with a concrete next step.

The work often includes skills practice, conversations about values, and steps to reduce intense reactions. Her background includes clinical roles in inpatient and outpatient settings across hospitals and community clinics. That experience informed care for people facing serious mental health challenges, crisis, and post-traumatic stress.

Elizabeth has also provided evidence-based treatment to soldiers and veterans in addition to non-military civilians. People who choose her can expect a collaborative relationship that treats them with dignity and respect. She invites active participation in crafting a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and coping with stressful situations.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. ACT often helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than getting caught up in thoughts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to be active partners in choosing strategies and tracking what helps.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue care from home. The variety of options supports different communication styles and practical needs, helping people access consistent support without added travel.

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.

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.
