About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with two decades of experience in counseling.

Background and approach

She brings extensive background supporting people through trauma, grief, addiction, mood challenges, anxiety, and life transitions, and has worked across diverse settings with clients facing issues such as family problems, domestic violence, and first responder stress. Liz favors collaborative, evidence-informed work that helps clients identify practical steps and revise the stories they tell about themselves.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and narrative techniques to help people manage symptoms, explore patterns, and build coping skills for parenting, relationships, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice also addresses post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult issues.

She offers flexible online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and provides services in English. Prospective clients in Texas can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Liz aims to help clients find workable strategies and clearer perspectives as they move through life changes.

Online approaches that focus on skills and perspective

Elizabeth "Liz" Hummert integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused and client-centered approaches in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is structured and skill-oriented, helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice changes that reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Trauma-focused therapy centers on processing and stabilizing responses to traumatic events, offering strategies for managing post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens attentively and helps clients explore their values and choices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Liz works with each person to weigh their goals, preferences, and the practical challenges they face, and she tailors techniques from CBT, trauma work, or client-centered practices to suit the individual's needs rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, provide continuity during life transitions, and allow therapists and clients to focus on concrete skills, narrative shifts, and problem-solving regardless of location.
