Elizabeth Frietsch

Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and eating and food-related issues. She works with adults and adolescents and aims to create a supportive space where difficult topics can be discussed honestly. Elizabeth writes schedules that consider parenting and work needs, including later evening appointments when needed.

She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and process painful memories. Sessions often involve practical steps and small goals that can make daily life feel more manageable. Elizabeth also uses Solution-Focused techniques to identify strengths and build forward momentum.

Her background includes years in education and social services, where she learned how stress and burnout affect caregivers and professionals. That experience informs the way she addresses compassion fatigue and career-related strain. She is familiar with challenges that come from adoption and foster care and understands parenting stress tied to children who have experienced trauma.

Elizabeth intentionally welcomes people across the LGBT spectrum and those with varied religious beliefs. She describes herself as a safe, non-judgmental counselor who will listen without shame. Her work emphasizes steady support and clear steps toward change.

People seeking help with body image, intimacy fears, or lingering trauma reminders can expect a paced, practical process. To start, she asks clients to share current concerns and goals so sessions can focus on what matters most in daily life.

How trauma-focused and practical approaches work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on real-life examples and small behavior changes that reduce distress and improve daily routines.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and the ways those memories affect relationships and eating or body image. This approach helps people process reminders from the past and learn skills to manage strong emotions when they arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and will suggest strategies that match those needs. Decisions about pacing and methods are made jointly, so clients have a voice in what feels most helpful.

Because session formats are not detailed here, confirm current options before booking to understand how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments outside typical business hours. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that better suits a schedule or energy level.
