Elizabeth Garibay

Elizabeth Garibay is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and anger. She offers support for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, work and career issues, and addiction or codependency challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy accessible to bilingual clients.

Her work is direct and culturally aware. She listens first, then helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. She blends strategies from several approaches to suit each person’s needs instead of using a single method for everyone.

Elizabeth draws on acceptance and commitment ideas along with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered listening. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior and existential work when they fit the situation. This mix is used to build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and clarify personal values.

Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on real-life problems and clear takeaways. The aim is to increase resilience and help people handle life changes with more confidence.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience working with multicultural communities and people with substance use or codependency concerns. She frames care around each person’s cultural identity and life context to make goals feel relevant and achievable.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters to you. It helps people cope with painful feelings and move toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathetic listening and creating space for clients to find their own answers, which can support emotional processing and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them over time so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques in the context of their everyday routines and bring real-life examples directly into sessions.
