About Mitzi
Mitzi Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression, and also addresses concerns like relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes.
She takes a practical approach in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and small steps you can try between meetings. She listens for unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then works with clients to test different ways of thinking and behaving.
Mitzi uses several straightforward methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns, and client-centered techniques that keep the client's perspective central. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related work, motivational interviewing to support behavior change, and solution-focused tools to set short-term goals.
Sessions aim to be clear and structured. Expect goal setting, skill practice, and brief review of what worked. Homework or small experiments may be suggested to measure what helps in daily life.
Mitzi works with people dealing with addictions, anger, self-esteem issues, career stress, and family-related challenges such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also addresses grief, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
How Mitzi Uses Structured Approaches in Remote Sessions
Mitzi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions often include setting concrete goals, practicing small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked between sessions.She also draws on client-centered methods that keep the client's perspective central, allowing the person to guide which problems to address and at what pace. For trauma-related concerns she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method aimed at reducing the ongoing emotional impact of traumatic memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a focused short-term plan or adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed.
