    About Elizabeth

    Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda uses a client-centered approach to help people find practical ways to feel better. She is Elizabeth, an LPC who listens and supports people through stress, grief, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. Her manner is direct and calm, focusing on small steps that add up to real progress.

    She trained at the University of Texas at Austin and then completed a Master of Science in Counseling at Texas A & M University Corpus Christi. Elizabeth has worked in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings and has nearly 22 years of combined experience, including time as a master counselor before licensure. That background includes group work, crisis counseling, and shelter-based support for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

    Elizabeth has worked with people facing depression, PTSD symptoms, suicidal thinking, substance use struggles, and mood disorders. She also helps with stress, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, and questions about life purpose. She pays attention to how culture, belief systems, and identity shape each person’s story.

    Her practice draws on Motivational Interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused methods. Sessions emphasize listening first, then building tools and strategies the person can use between visits. The pace and goals are set together so work fits into everyday life.

    People who meet with Elizabeth can expect clear, practical guidance and a steady presence while they work through painful experiences and make changes that matter.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change and take small steps toward goals. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify motivation and reduce resistance, which can help with substance use, behavior change, and building healthy routines.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person feels heard and understood. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps uncover personal values and strengths to guide choices and healing.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as needed rather than using a single fixed plan.

    If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue treatment during transitions or when attending in-person sessions would be difficult.
