About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, codependency, and substance use concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She uses a mix of evidence-based methods to help people learn concrete skills. That can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing present-moment awareness, and building emotional regulation tools. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change next.

Elizabeth pays attention to cultural background and identity as part of the work. She aims to understand how family expectations, migration, or community norms shape feelings and behavior. This perspective shapes goal setting and which techniques are chosen.

People often come for relationship strain, trouble saying no, or living with someones substance problems. Treatment topics also include sleeping and eating concerns, parenting stress, career pressure, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She talks through everyday steps that make life more manageable.

Therapy blends acceptance-based ideas, cognitive tools, and skills borrowed from dialectical methods. Sessions involve conversation, short exercises, and homework to practice between meetings. To start, the site matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled after that.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and commit to small actions that align with their values. It can help with persistent worry, low mood, or the pull to people-please at others' expense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools for shifting thought patterns and routines. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are about managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing clear boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth uses a collaborative process to decide which methods fit a persons goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use tools and homework together with a therapist who speaks English and Spanish. If a person wants to start, they complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
