Elizabeth Smith, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel like a walk alongside someone, not a lecture.

Parents will find direct, practical support for everyday problems and parenting stress. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She uses approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to emphasize clear skills, simple strategies, and steady emotional support. Clients work on coping tools, communication skills, and small changes that add up over time. Elizabeth trained at Lamar University and holds the LPC credential.

She brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. That background includes helping people with relationship issues, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and blended family difficulties. She invites honest, open conversation and adapts techniques to each person’s needs.

Expect practical steps in session alongside space to talk through feelings. The goal is not to rush past hard things but to move through them with steady guidance. Elizabeth offers therapy through multiple online formats.

This allows people to fit sessions into busy family schedules. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth often uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace to build understanding and emotional safety. This method helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort through feelings and parenting stress.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday coping skills because it focuses on concrete tools and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is a partnership. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible for busy families. These options let people choose what fits their schedule and comfort level while keeping work and family responsibilities in mind. Licensed professionals provide these formats so clients can continue progress without long travel or scheduling strain.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
