About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and substance concerns. Elizabeth describes her role as listening actively and helping people find ways to feel better and move toward more peace in their lives.
She earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. Before licensure she worked as a master counselor for about 10 years and then practiced as a licensed counselor in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. That background includes crisis work in shelters and supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Elizabeth has supported people with post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, and addictions. She has experience running groups and working with individuals and couples who are adjusting to life changes or need practical support. She has also worked with older adults who are processing the challenges of later life.
Her clinical approach focuses on practical tools and strategies. She uses client-centered methods to understand each person, solution-focused techniques to set goals, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day functioning.
People who come to her for anger concerns can expect straightforward work on behavior, coping skills, and communication. Elizabeth emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps rather than abstract theory. If you want to start, follow the site instructions to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective so the therapist can respond to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and solution-focused methods to set practical, short-term goals. These approaches aim to produce concrete steps you can use between sessions, such as new coping strategies or communication plans.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts methods if something is not helping as expected.
