   About Elizabeth

   Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports people coping with depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also helps those facing trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, substance use concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works in both English and Spanish to make therapy more accessible.

   She focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions. She listens first, and then helps people set small, doable goals. She uses conversational methods that invite honest reflection rather than long lectures.

   Elizabeth brings six years of clinical experience and attention to cultural context. She pays close attention to how identity, family background, and community affect emotional health. That perspective shapes how she frames goals and coping strategies.

   Her approach draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She explains techniques plainly and practices them together with the client.

   People often leave sessions with specific skills for handling stress, sleep problems, cravings, or difficult conversations. Elizabeth aims to help clients build resilience and clearer priorities. She supports steady progress rather than quick fixes.

2. Therapeutic approaches and online care

   Elizabeth often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to strengthen personal motivation for change. This approach centers on listening and asking questions that help you name goals and next steps. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward chosen values. That can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
   
   Therapy is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different approaches with you and decide together which techniques best match your needs, goals, and preferences. Initial sessions are a chance to try ideas and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
   
   Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also offers options for sessions that rely more on conversation or brief skill practice without needing extended travel. Ask about available scheduling patterns when you set up your first appointment.
