Elizabeth Ivey , LPC

Elizabeth Ivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings focused experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, trauma, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She completed a bachelor’s degree in 2013 and a master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology in 2015 from Midwestern State University, and she spent many years volunteering and working at a local shelter helping people rebuild their lives.

Her practice is guided by a person-centered, eclectic philosophy that emphasizes meeting each person where they are and tailoring strategies to individual needs. Elizabeth relies on evidence-based tools drawn from humanistic approaches, cognitive-processing therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. These methods are used to address a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting and teen issues, relationship and family difficulties, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns.

Elizabeth describes her role as a supportive guide who helps clients identify and pursue their own goals at a pace that feels right for them. She aims to empower people through collaborative work that honors individual timing and strengths. As an LPC, she holds a state license to provide professional counseling and applies that training to practical, goal-oriented care.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps that move them toward a meaningful life. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and navigating difficult life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist reflects and supports a person's own capacity to find solutions; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and processing emotional concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-directed, concentrating on practical steps and strengths to create change quickly, which can be helpful for managing specific problems and clarifying priorities.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and the ability to receive support from varied locations. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
