About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on trauma-related concerns and everyday struggles. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, eating and intimacy-related issues, and the ongoing effects of traumatic events. She also supports parents navigating adoption, foster care, and the stresses that come with caregiving.
Her approach combines practical, goal-oriented methods with trauma-informed care. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address patterns of thinking and to build manageable steps forward. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to help people reduce the hold that painful past experiences have on daily life.
Elizabeth has four years of counseling experience and has worked with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. That background has shaped how she helps people who feel stuck by shame, guilt, or isolation. She also brings experience supporting those with body image and eating concerns and first responder stress.
She describes herself as an affirming counselor for people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and for diverse belief systems. Her role as a foster and adoptive parent has given her practical insight into the Texas foster care system and parenting children who have experienced trauma.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and nonjudgmental. People can expect to talk through current problems, learn coping strategies, and set small, concrete goals to test what helps in daily life.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing the ways past events continue to affect daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will test small steps and adjust methods based on what actually helps.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a variety of ways to meet people where they are, and the focus remains on practical strategies and steady progress rather than on any single method.
