Elisabeth Zaragoza , LPC

Elisabeth Zaragoza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of hands-on experience working directly with clients and coordinating care. She has supported individuals, couples and families through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions, helping people navigate change and regain a sense of direction. In addition to her LPC credential, she is a Certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler, which informs her compassionate approach to losses ranging from death to relationship endings.

Elisabeth emphasizes a warm, inviting atmosphere where clients can share at their own pace. Her work blends client-centered methods with solution-focused techniques, narrative approaches and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person or family. The aim is practical - to foster self-discovery, build positive coping skills and restore hope amid difficult circumstances.

Her personal roles as a wife and mother of two also shape her perspective as a therapist. She has lived through challenges such as having a premature firstborn and coping with the death of her mother, and she brings that lived experience to her clinical work without making it the focus. Each role and experience informs how she connects with clients, supports family dynamics and guides people through transitions toward healthier functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elisabeth often draws on client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard - this approach is helpful for building trust and exploring personal values. Motivational interviewing is a practical, collaborative style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation, which can be useful for addressing behavior changes, career shifts or managing ADHD challenges. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, allowing them to reframe difficulties like grief, relationship conflict or low self-esteem in more empowering ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elisabeth works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and as priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and maintain connection when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful support through these formats while tailoring pacing and communication style to each client.
