About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience in counseling. She earned a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and holds a Texas LCSW license. Liz writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps parents can use to manage stress and family challenges.

She listens first and then helps people decide what to try next.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Liz uses clear tools to address anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her work has included trauma, grief, and abuse recovery.

She has also supported people dealing with addiction, anger, self-esteem, and relationship tension. First responder issues and young adult transitions are among her experience areas as well. Liz draws on several approaches to guide treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. Trauma-focused methods provide careful ways to address painful memories.

In practical terms she helps parents and individuals create small, doable changes. She meets people where they are and tailors the pace to their comfort. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better routines at home.

Practical approaches for online family and trauma work

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their families so they can see different options and feel more agency. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address painful memories and reactions without pushing someone past their comfort level.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and test approaches that match your needs. Together you will decide whether to focus on skill-building, examining personal narratives, or addressing trauma responses, and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier for busy parents to get support between other responsibilities. Therapists can use short exercises, worksheets, and chat check-ins to keep work moving forward even when life is hectic.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
