About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body-image concerns, compasion fatigue, LGBT issues, intimacy-related questions, parenting strain, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression.
She commonly helps people who are coping with life changes and the long-term effects of traumatic events. Her background includes work with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. That experience also shapes how she supports people with attachment worries and intimacy fears.
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address thought patterns and practical steps. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy approaches for processing trauma-related symptoms. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new responses, and setting concrete small goals.
She has experience navigating the Texas foster care system and offers practical help for foster or adoptive parents handling parenting stress and attachment concerns. She is familiar with Trust-Based Relational Intervention and the realities of parenting children who have experienced trauma.
Elizabeth works with people across the LGBT spectrum and with diverse religious backgrounds. She also brings experience from education and social services in recognizing and addressing compassion fatigue and burnout. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions often involve short exercises, thought records, and concrete behavioral experiments that can be practiced between meetings.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process reminders of past events and reduce their ongoing impact. That work includes grounding strategies, processing of trauma-related memories, and stepwise exposure when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then help choose techniques that fit those needs. Decisions about pace and methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Many people find it convenient to practice CBT exercises at home and review them in the next online meeting, but confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling.
