About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body-image concerns, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Elizabeth also lists focus areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and post-traumatic stress.

She has spent much of her career supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, and this informs how she approaches trauma work. Elizabeth uses practical, skills-based methods and trauma-focused techniques to help people manage symptoms that persist after painful events. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and addressing reminders from the past that still affect daily life.

Elizabeth is a foster and adoptive parent and knows the routines and pressures that come with children who have experienced trauma. She is familiar with Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and she draws on that experience when talking about parenting stress and attachment concerns. She also understands caregiver strain and ways to reduce burnout from work in education or social services.

Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented. Elizabeth aims to make therapy practical, with tools people can use between sessions. She affirms people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and those with diverse or no religious beliefs.

Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling, since her hours are arranged around parental and work commitments. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and short-term, focusing on concrete steps people can try between sessions to change a specific situation or feeling. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the lasting effects of past harm and offers techniques to reduce distress from reminders and triggers.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

The main practical advantage of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy schedule. It can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work and parenting duties, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or in the evening. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are available and which best fit your day-to-day routines.
