About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of counseling experience. She practices from Texas and brings a calm, practical approach to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Liz writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
Over 20 years she has worked in many settings and with a wide range of concerns. That experience includes work with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, and first responder issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. Liz uses a few straightforward methods to help people find relief. She leans on client-centered listening to understand someone’s priorities, cognitive behavioral ideas to break unhelpful thinking patterns, and narrative approaches to reframe painful stories.
She also draws from solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when the situation calls for them. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She helps people set small steps that fit their daily life.
For parents, young adults, or anyone coping with loss, guilt, or family-of-origin problems, she offers concrete tools for coping and problem solving. Her manner is open-minded and nonjudgmental. People looking for clear, experienced guidance around anxiety, stress, or trauma can expect direct conversation, steady support, and an emphasis on what helps in real life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions allow the therapist to follow the client’s lead, reflect concerns back, and help clients set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and replaces them with practical experiments and coping skills; this approach works well in video or messaging formats where homework and tracking can be shared between sessions.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those narratives to reduce shame and increase agency. That work can be done through conversation, written exercises in chat, or by reviewing progress together during video calls. Liz combines these approaches when needed so the work matches the problem and the person’s goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients can expect ongoing discussion about what’s working and changes when they are needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easy ways to stay connected. Video calls suit deeper conversations and face-to-face check-ins. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, homework, and quick coping reminders between sessions.
