Elizabeth Garibay, LPC

Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports concerns related to trauma, addiction, codependency, and multicultural issues. Elizabeth works in English and Spanish to make therapy accessible for bilingual clients.

She focuses on practical, everyday steps that people can use between sessions. Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at building clearer choices and better coping. Sessions balance problem-solving with emotional support.

Elizabeth uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and clarify what matters most to them. She also draws on dialectical and existential ideas when people need help managing strong emotions or finding meaning.

Her work emphasizes cultural context and how background shapes feelings and choices. Elizabeth pays attention to the whole person, including family patterns, career stress, parenting strains, and identity-related pressures. She will help clients name patterns and try small experiments to shift them.

With six years of clinical experience, Elizabeth aims to walk alongside people rather than direct them. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, helping clients set realistic goals and build lasting skills. Practical homework and brief check-ins help keep progress steady.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or eating and sleeping problems. CBT focuses on simple, practical exercises and behavior changes you can practice between sessions.

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed actions toward what matters. That approach can be useful for grief, career transitions, or ongoing stress. Client-centered therapy is another part of her work and emphasizes listening, empathy, and building trust so clients feel heard as they set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try methods that fit each person's needs. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain steady work on goals between in-person commitments.
