About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Garibay is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel approachable for people from many backgrounds. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Her work often includes addressing relationship strain, self-esteem, codependency, and substance use issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain, and career stress. She tends to keep explanations plain and concrete so busy people can follow along.
Elizabeth uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior concepts, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning. Those tools are used to notice patterns, try new skills, and make values-based choices.
In sessions she listens first, then suggests small, doable practices. Clients might work on breathing and grounding for sleep, rethink unhelpful thoughts, set flexible routines, or experiment with boundaries in relationships. The focus is on making changes that fit daily life.
She has six years of experience working with multicultural communities and emphasizes cultural context when talking about symptoms and solutions. Her LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
People who prefer Spanish can use that language in sessions. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and practical goals so work can start in a focused way.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then choose actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption by focusing on small, meaningful steps rather than perfect control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to shift them. CBT is often used for worry, depression, and routines that affect sleep and daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. This collaborative stance means methods can be mixed to match present needs and practical life demands.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and try exercises in the same setting where problems arise. Many people find that having sessions from home or a quiet place helps them practice sleep routines, evening habits, and stress management in real time. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work well in remote sessions.
