Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda

Elizabeth Barrera-Sepulveda is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on listening, practical support, and helping people find more peace in daily life. She aims to help clients move toward the places they want to be by offering down-to-earth guidance and steady support.

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A & M University in Corpus Christi and a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Elizabeth has over two decades of experience in counseling, including many years working before and after licensure in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings.

Much of her work has involved supporting people affected by trauma, including survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes. She has also supported people with mood and anxiety concerns, PTSD symptoms, substance abuse struggles, and those coping with major life changes.

Her background includes crisis counseling in shelters, facilitating support groups, and working with people adjusting to later-life challenges. Elizabeth says she keeps each person’s cultural background, sexuality, and beliefs in mind when planning care.

In sessions she focuses on helping people build tools and strategies to meet goals. Her approach combines client-centered listening with solution-focused steps and cognitive behavioral techniques so clients can try practical ways to feel and function better.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals so conversations stay focused on what matters to you. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through stress, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood concerns because it gives clear steps people can practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making changes, like with addictions or health behaviors, by exploring motivations and building confidence for next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as goals evolve.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering more flexible scheduling that can work around work or caregiving demands.
