Elizabeth Schobitz, LCSW

Elizabeth Schobitz is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, trauma, or major life changes. Her tone is warm and direct, and she focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use between sessions.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and solution-focused methods to shape short- and longer-term plans. Sessions emphasize simple skills for coping, mood tracking, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Elizabeth also brings trauma-focused work into care when past harm is part of a person's struggles.

Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has provided care in hospitals and clinics and has experience working with veterans and civilians affected by sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, and other complex mental health issues. That breadth helps her tailor approaches to each person's situation.

Elizabeth aims for a collaborative relationship where the person sets goals and plays an active role in treatment. Practical tools, homework that fits daily life, and steady problem-solving are typical parts of her sessions. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once matched.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. ACT helps people notice values and take action toward a meaningful life even when hard feelings are present.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and build on what is already working. These methods are practical and goal-oriented, which often fits well with online formats where sessions can focus tightly on the next steps and skill practice.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when fitting therapy into a busy day.
