About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, and career or life-change pressures. She also helps with self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related concerns.
Elizabeth focuses on practical, goal-directed work. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address ongoing effects of past harm and current life stressors. Sessions tend to break larger problems into small, manageable steps and build coping skills that can be used between meetings.
Her background includes years supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. That experience informs work with post-traumatic stress, attachment issues, and intimacy fears. She also has experience with eating and body-image difficulties and with caregiver stress and burnout.
As a foster and adoptive parent, she is familiar with the Texas foster care system and parenting approaches for children who have experienced trauma. She describes herself as affirming of LGBT clients and people with diverse religious views. She aims to be direct and non-judgmental when talking about difficult subjects.

How her approaches guide remote sessions
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or eating concerns. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical exercises clients can use day to day.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the ongoing effects of past harm. This approach looks at how reminders of trauma affect current life and helps people process those reminders at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest ways of working that match those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether CBT, trauma-focused work, or a solution-focused emphasis is most useful for a given concern.
