Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hello there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I received my Masters from Southern University at New Orleans and have been practicing for 16 years. I help my clients struggling with life stressors and issues to become the best version of themselves. Are you ready to become the best you that you can be?

I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from Sam Houston State University in 2015, following a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2003. My clinical specialty is working with young adults, adolescents, and families, with over five years of direct clinical experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than a decade of experience as a counselor educator at the university level. I also have over 20 years of experience in public education, including 13 years as a certified secondary school counselor. This diverse background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of both academic and developmental challenges across the lifespan.

Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows in a space that’s safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I believe healing and growth happen when you feel truly heard and understood. Just as pearls are shaped through pressure, our own resilience and beauty often emerge from life’s most difficult moments and I’m honored to walk beside you on that transformative journey.

I've been a helping professional now for over twenty years. My career began as a Licensed Vocational Nurse/LVN working with those affected by physical health conditions. Additionally, my counseling background includes providing individual & group therapy to those impacted by suicidal ideation/thoughts, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and more.

Are you ready to break free from the weight of past trauma and create lasting change? Are you feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or anger, struggling to find peace and connection? Together, we’ll work to heal emotional wounds, strengthen coping skills, and restore balance using trauma-focused, evidence-based approaches. My goal is to help you rediscover confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose—empowering you to move forward with strength, self-compassion, and hope.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when shaped by trauma, mood changes, substance use, or family conflict. Through CBT, REBT, and EMDR, therapy offers space to heal, reframe negative thoughts, and release past pain. Together, we build resilience, balance, and peace through empathy, understanding, and growth.

I understand how exhausting it can feel to carry the weight of past pain. You may long for peace, balance, and connection but feel unsure where to begin. Healing is possible—you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can create a safe, supportive space to process, rebuild, and move toward the life you truly deserve.

I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.

Elizabeth Smith offers counseling to help support you as you navigate life’s obstacles. She specializes in working with individuals of various ages, from 5 to 65 and older. Are you seeking ways to manage life’s transitions or heal from past trauma? She can help by aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions to empower you to overcome challenges.

If you or your teen are carrying something heavy — trauma that keeps showing up, anxiety that won't settle, or a life that's shifted in ways that are hard to name — I'm here to help. I'm a bilingual, Spanish-speaking LPC in Texas with 3 years of clinical experience. I'm trained in EMDR therapy and specialize in trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I work with adolescents ages 11–17 and adults, and I believe therapy is a space to work toward your most authentic self. I believe healing is possible when people are given a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. Over time, I realized that many of the struggles people experience are often rooted in experiences that were never fully processed.
