Elizabeth Frietsch, LPC

Elizabeth Frietsch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping adults and adolescents who carry the weight of trauma, along with stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles around eating and self-esteem.

She uses clear, practical methods to help people manage symptoms and move toward day-to-day functioning. Sessions often address intimacy fears, attachment worries, and the emotional effects that follow abuse or assault. She also supports people facing career stress, life transitions, and questions about purpose.

Her background includes years working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. That work shaped her approach to trauma and informed how she helps with related depression, anxiety, and eating concerns. She also has experience with first responder related stress and responding to large-scale disasters.

As a foster and adoptive parent, she understands the special pressures of parenting children who have experienced trauma. She is familiar with the Texas foster care system and with parenting approaches for children from hard places. She welcomes people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and those with diverse beliefs.

Elizabeth has four years of professional experience as an LPC. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful memories, learn coping skills, and find practical paths forward.

How these approaches guide online work

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic memories and their ongoing effects so daily life is less disrupted.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. This means starting with a clear plan and adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow evening appointments, and let people attend from different places without rearranging their day. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online and scheduling options before booking so you know what will work best for you.
