Hi! I’m Elizabeth Parrish, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over six years of experience. I earned my Master's degree from Dallas Baptist University and am passionate about supporting individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem, often rooted in relationship difficulties. As a compassionate therapist, my goal is to work collaboratively with you to discover peace, clarity, and confidence. I strive to create a supportive, honest, and authentic therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Together, we’ll work toward building the life you deserve.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you’ll find a warm, understanding, and accepting space where we’ll begin to explore the reasons you’ve sought therapy. We’ll take time to discuss your current challenges, your goals for counseling, and any important background that will help me gain a deeper understanding of your unique journey. I’ll also explain how our sessions will unfold, and together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan that’s tailored to your specific needs. This session is an opportunity for you to share at your own pace, ask any questions you may have, and lay the foundation for a collaborative, empowering path forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I consider my ability to establish a safe, empathetic space as one of my core strengths, where clients can openly share vulnerable aspects of their lives while feeling heard and supported. I bring a sense of genuine authenticity to our sessions, staying true to myself while nurturing an environment conducive to growth. My approach centers on recognizing strengths and promoting self-reflection to foster personal development and awareness.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients who feel lost in the chaos of their emotional world, yet harbors a quiet desire for growth and healing. They might feel overwhelmed by anxiety, confusion, or depression, often struggling with a sense of brokenness and low self-esteem. They may be caught in an unhealthy relationship or uncertain about their worth and direction in life. Despite the weight of these challenges, they possess a spark of hope and a desire for change. My ideal client is ready to explore their emotions, uncover patterns holding them back, and commit to the hard but rewarding work of healing. They’re seeking a supportive and empathetic guide to help them navigate their journey toward clarity, self-confidence, and meaningful growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT helps clients to learn skills to manage their emotions, tolerate distress and improve relationships. In therapy I work with clients and teach them the skills in DBT such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe that problematic thinking patterns, learned behaviors and core beliefs can be the cause of many psychological issues. I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, learn self-help strategies, and change behaviors.
Eclectic
Every client is unique so based on their needs I use an eclectic approach to therapy that is flexible, and uses multiple therapeutic techniques and orientations to address the client's needs. I tend to use aspects from CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, inner child work and attachment styles depending on the clients needs.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a collaborative approach that focuses on what clients can do, rather than what they can't do while emphasizing the client's strengths, resources, and desires. Then I help clients define specific goals and create practical strategies for achieving them.
Supportive
While a client is in a therapeutic session with me I provide supportive therapy by listening to the client while exploring and normalizing their feelings. I also help the client to feel understood and respected without judgement to help improve their self-esteem and alleviate symptoms.
