Elizabeth Garibay, LPC

Elizabeth Garibay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She works with clients on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and the effects of trauma and addiction. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she aims to make therapy accessible and respectful of cultural differences.

Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that people can use between meetings. She blends evidence-based tools with a warm, listening style so clients feel heard and guided toward small, steady changes.

Elizabeth draws on methods from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-focused work to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to explore values, meaning, and personal choice. Dialectical techniques and mindfulness practices are available for managing strong emotions and building coping skills.

With six years of experience, Elizabeth has worked with multicultural communities and with people dealing with codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and compassion fatigue. Her bilingual practice supports both Spanish and English speakers and pays attention to how culture shapes struggles and strengths.

People who choose her often want practical strategies combined with empathy. She guides clients toward more resilience, clearer self-understanding, and realistic steps for improving sleep, eating, work stress, and daily coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful cycles, which is useful for depression, sleep, and coping with stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, supporting self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with each person to pick or blend methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. That means adjustments over time until the work fits the client's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins around work breaks. It can also let people try techniques like mindfulness or behavioral experiments in their everyday settings and then discuss how those exercises felt with a licensed professional.
