About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of experience in counseling and behavioral health. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, sleep problems, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. She offers active listening and practical support to help clients move toward clearer next steps.

Before licensure she spent ten years as a master counselor and holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. Much of her work has focused on trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crime-related trauma. She has also worked in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and with people managing mood disorders and substance use concerns.

Her practice includes crisis counseling experience and facilitating groups for people seeking connection while they cope with mental health challenges. She has worked with both women and men who have survived violence, and has supported older adults adjusting to later-life changes. Elizabeth pays attention to cultural, ethnic, and sexual diversity when she meets with people.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy. She aims to help clients identify tools and strategies they can use between sessions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical steps rather than abstract theory.

People often come to her when life changes leave them unsure what matters next. She helps them sort priorities, manage symptoms, and plan realistic steps toward the life goals they want to pursue.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports clients in naming what matters most and choosing next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for addictions or ambivalence about life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using CBT techniques for mood and sleep, motivational interviewing for substance concerns, or a client-centered stance to sort life purpose questions.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so those practical tools can be used between meetings.
