About Mitzi
Mitzi Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She creates an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She emphasizes small steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Mitzi uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most to them. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause distress and build practical ways to cope day to day. Her approach blends client-centered work with structured tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past trauma keeps interrupting present life, and motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits or addictive behaviors. Mitzi has four years of professional experience helping clients manage grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and life changes like career shifts or loss.
She also pays attention to concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and midlife questions. Sessions may include practical exercises, focused conversation, and planning for real-world challenges between meetings. Mitzi guides each person at a pace that feels usable and manageable.
The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more control over day-to-day life.
Approaches for anxiety and trauma in online care
Mitzi blends client-centered work with evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety and recover from hard experiences. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building trust so they can talk openly and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address memories that keep causing distress. EMDR involves structured processing of troubling memories so they become less triggering in daily life. Together these approaches let sessions move between listening, skills practice, and focused trauma work based on what each person needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, comfort level, and the specific problems they want to address. That process may shift over time as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - give flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching skills, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or brief support during a busy day. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and maintain continuity of care.
