About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of experience. She focuses on common and serious problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. Elizabeth supports people who are coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood disorders. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with adult clients in Texas.
She earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A & M University Corpus Christi. Before licensure she worked as a master counselor for about 10 years, and she has roles in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. That work included crisis counseling in shelters and facilitating groups for people dealing with substance use, suicidal thoughts, and PTSD symptoms.
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches. In practical terms she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build new habits. She also assists people who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, or other crimes to process what happened and find safety strategies.
Her style is straightforward and task-oriented. She helps people identify clear goals, learn coping skills, and practice small changes between sessions. Group work and individual counseling are both part of her background.

How Elizabeth applies approaches in online sessions
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on specific problems and practical exercises people can try between sessions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around the person's priorities and experience. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work to help people clarify and strengthen their reasons for change, often used when addressing addictions or readiness for new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals, preferences, and current needs and may combine approaches as appropriate.
