Elizabeth Schobitz, LCSW

Elizabeth Schobitz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aiming to make conversations feel safe and practical from the first session.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and spent time supporting veterans, soldiers, and civilians in hospital and clinic environments. Her background includes work with people affected by sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, depression, substance use, and other complex mental health challenges.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those approaches fit the goals. She explains ideas clearly and helps people try short, manageable steps between meetings. Clients are invited to take an active role in setting goals and tracking progress.

Elizabeth emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion in the therapy room. She aims to help people build routines and skills that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Many clients work on coping with life changes, healing from past hurt, improving self-esteem, and managing mood or attention concerns.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress levels; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of past traumatic events through paced, trauma-informed techniques to improve daily functioning and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to decide together which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method from the start.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose settings that feel calmer, avoid camera use when preferred, or schedule around work and family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and trauma-focused work to remote sessions while focusing on practical skills and goals.
