About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports concerns like self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She communicates in English and Spanish to reach a wider range of people.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to build skills for handling strong emotions and everyday problems. She uses straightforward tools so parents and caregivers can try new strategies between visits.
Background and approach
Elizabeth draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas. She also uses client-centered and dialectical strategies to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful cycles. These methods are chosen to match what each person needs in the moment.
She has six years of clinical experience working with multicultural communities and with people facing codependency or substance use concerns. That experience informs how she talks about cultural context and life stressors in therapy. She focuses on practical, doable steps that fit a client’s life.
In session she listens first, then offers concrete options for coping and growth. The aim is to increase resilience, strengthen self-understanding, and create clearer paths forward. Many clients leave with small, achievable goals they can use at home and at work.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It helps clarify personal values and take small steps toward a meaningful life despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and support while clients find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so tools feel useful and realistic for parenting and other life roles.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter habit-building work, or scheduling around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, work shifts, and tight schedules.
