Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert

Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people navigate hard times. She earned a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and holds an LCSW in Texas. Liz responds calmly to questions about change and loss and aims to make first steps feel easier.

She has spent many years working in different settings and with people facing trauma, grief, and abuse. Her background includes supporting those affected by sexual assault and domestic violence, and helping people cope after traumatic events. She has also worked with first responders and those close to them, drawing on that experience when relevant.

Liz uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to build trust, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative therapy to help people reframe their stories. She also uses trauma-focused and solution-focused approaches when those fit a person’s goals.

Common topics she helps with include anxiety, depression, anger, stress, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports people facing family of origin issues, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Liz focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions.

Her style is open-minded and direct. She partners with clients to set goals and checks in about what helps. People who want practical tools and a therapist who listens may find her approach helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and habits people want to change because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that fit the person and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Discussing session length, pacing, and homework can help therapy slip into everyday routines without adding extra burden.
