About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults who carry stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body-image concerns, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting stress, depression, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She focuses on survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and on people coping with long-lasting reminders of past harm. Her background includes work in education and social services, where she supported people facing compassion fatigue and burnout.
Elizabeth uses straightforward, skills-based therapy to help people name what’s happening and try new ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to break problems into manageable steps. She also brings trauma-focused methods when work needs to address overwhelming memories and their effects.
She is experienced with parenting concerns linked to foster and adoptive care and understands the extra stresses that can come with raising children who have faced trauma. She is familiar with Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) as a parenting approach used in those settings.
Elizabeth provides an affirming practice for people on the LGBT spectrum and for those with a range of religious beliefs, and she notes practical scheduling accommodations when needed. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches are used for online work
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is practical and works for anxiety, depression, and a lot of day-to-day struggles. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and steps a person can take now to feel more capable and in control. It is useful for coping with life changes, parenting stress, and career or relationship questions. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to affect current life; it focuses on processing reminders and reducing their hold on daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as priorities change or new concerns appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, avoiding travel, having shorter check-ins during a break, or using phone calls when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt pacing, homework, and session structure so therapy fits regular routines without adding more burden.
