About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping parents and adults cope with stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. She offers calm, direct support for people facing anxiety, depression, eating and body-image issues, and parenting stress. Elizabeth writes schedules that accommodate parental duties and evening availability when possible.
She draws on practical therapy methods to help people reduce symptoms and build clearer thinking patterns. Sessions address trauma reminders, attachment and intimacy concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue that can come from caregiving or work in helping professions.
Background and approach
Elizabeth has experience with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and helps people manage the lasting effects of those experiences. Elizabeth also supports parents who are navigating foster or adoptive pathways and the stress that can come with raising children who experienced trauma.
She is familiar with parenting approaches used for children from hard places and understands the extra layers of stress those families sometimes face. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a space where people can talk about heavy topics and make step-by-step changes.
Sessions blend problem-solving, skill practice, and focused trauma work based on the client’s needs. Elizabeth has four years of professional experience and works with people across many life stages facing change, loss, or ongoing emotional pain. She offers sessions in English and sees clients in Texas.

Approaches Elizabeth lists

Practical approaches for online trauma and parenting support
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday parenting stresses because it focuses on clear skills and short-term changes.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the long-term effects of past abuse or violence. That approach centers on processing reminders of trauma and reducing their impact on daily life, using structured techniques suited to each person's pace.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, while phone calls can fit a short check-in or lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
