Elizabeth Sims, LPC

Elizabeth Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and ADHD, and she also focuses on codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, impulsivity, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues.

She approaches sessions with the assumption that the client knows their own story. She listens to how daily life and relationships feel out of balance, then helps identify small, practical steps to change that pattern. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can help now rather than on jargon.

In session she uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings in mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm and solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable goals. These methods are used to address symptoms like persistent worry, low mood, trouble managing anger, and difficulties saying no.

Elizabeth often supports people who keep putting others first or who are dealing with the fallout of someone else's drinking or mood swings. She works to strengthen communication skills and boundary-setting so clients can make clearer choices about relationships and responsibilities.

To begin, she asks a few questions about current struggles and what the client hopes to change. From there she and the client decide on practical strategies and goals to try over the next few sessions.
