About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Garibay is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and related concerns such as codependency and substance use. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people from multicultural backgrounds.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients notice thoughts and try different responses. Sessions tend to focus on specific problems, skills to manage emotions, and small experiments to test new habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and client-centered work.
Elizabeth emphasizes clear, direct discussion of what is causing distress and what the client wants to change. She often helps people build routines for better sleep, plan steps to manage cravings, or practice new ways of communicating in relationships. Work can include mindfulness-based skills and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her bilingual background shapes how she talks about cultural identity and life stress. That can mean discussing how cultural expectations affect self-esteem or how systemic factors influence career and family decisions. She aims to make language and cultural context part of the therapy process.
Practical next steps usually include a short intake, goal-setting, and a plan for homework between sessions. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts and uses short exercises to change thinking and routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client's priorities guide the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as work continues and goals evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy day. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from a quieter location. Many people find that skills and exercises used in CBT and ACT adapt well to remote sessions, while therapists can teach mindful practices, emotion regulation strategies, and behavioral experiments through conversation and assigned tasks.
