About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, and related concerns. Elizabeth also supports people dealing with trauma, substance use struggles, codependency, and multicultural issues.
She uses direct conversation and practical tools in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and existential ideas. Sessions include skill practice, values-focused work, and attention to how culture shapes problems.
Elizabeth speaks English and Spanish and integrates clients' cultural background into therapy. That means she pays attention to family expectations, migration history, language, and community context when they matter to a concern. Her bilingual ability helps with communication and cultural references.
People who come for parenting stress or relationship strain can expect clear strategies for coping and for setting boundaries. For substance use and codependency she focuses on practical steps and coping skills rather than labels. For grief and trauma she balances emotional processing with grounding and safety planning.
Her approach is conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that match those values while learning to live with uncomfortable feelings. It can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, then shifting to ACT or adding DBT skills if emotion regulation is needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full-length visit is not possible. They also let clients access a bilingual English-Spanish therapist from within Texas without changing geographic routines. Licensed professionals will work with clients to find a practical schedule and session rhythm that fits everyday life.
