About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, and related concerns. She brings four years of clinical experience and a down-to-earth approach to sessions. Elizabeth aims to help people manage symptoms and get back to daily life with clearer coping tools.
Her work often addresses the lasting effects of trauma, including post-traumatic stress and symptoms that show up as anxiety, depression, or difficulties with intimacy and attachment.
Background and approach
She has experience with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, or burnout. Elizabeth also helps with eating and body-image concerns and issues connected to adoption and foster care. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on Trauma-Focused Therapy to process painful memories and reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used for identifying practical steps and short-term goals people can try right away. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, focusing on what someone wants to change and how to get there. Elizabeth is affirming of LGBTQ people and of varied religious beliefs.
She is a foster and adoptive parent and knows the practical challenges that come with parenting children who have experienced trauma. That lived experience informs how she talks about parenting stress and attachment concerns. She offers sessions from Texas in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the site process.
How her approaches guide online care
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT often involves setting small practice tasks between sessions and testing new ways of thinking that reduce distress.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect current feelings and relationships. This approach helps people process upsetting memories and the reactions they cause so daily life becomes more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest a plan to try together. Adjustments are normal; approaches can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging can allow brief check-ins or flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, work breaks, or caregiving schedules and let people try different formats to see what helps most.
