About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda brings a practical, skills-oriented approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while blending client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help people move toward clearer goals.

Background and approach

She is an LPC based in Texas with 22 years of experience supporting adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, substance concerns, and mood disorders.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health, crisis counseling in shelters for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, and group facilitation for those seeking peer support.

Elizabeth draws on trauma-focused methods when supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other traumatic events, and she integrates motivational interviewing when addressing ambivalence around addiction or behavior change. She emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping clients identify practical tools and strategies to manage stress, improve sleep, cope with life changes, and rebuild self-esteem.

Elizabeth values diverse backgrounds and cultural perspectives and works to meet each person where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, achievable steps forward.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online sessions to address immediate symptoms and longer-term healing. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to help clients feel heard and to build their own solutions. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured support for processing traumatic experiences and can help those coping with sexual assault, domestic violence, disaster-related trauma, or post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may blend methods as treatment progresses to find the best match for symptom relief and practical change.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging that can fit into busy schedules and varying levels of comfort. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while accessing licensed professionals from different locations in Texas, and they support ongoing skill-building and check-ins between sessions.
