About Elizabeth
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 5 years of experience, Dr. Elizabeth Marrufo-Esmele helps people with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and trauma issues. She uses practical, straightforward conversations to identify what’s causing distress and what can be changed. Her approach centers on the person's strengths and goals rather than on jargon or labels.
Elizabeth practices Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then works with people to test small changes that reduce distress. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused tools to help people manage intense emotions and move toward clearer next steps.
She works with concerns that include depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include codependency, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, and problems around self-love.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Conversations are practical and paced to match what the person can handle. Elizabeth emphasizes learning skills people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, cravings, mood shifts, and relationship conflict.
She practices in Texas as an LPC and works in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform’s booking flow.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on reflecting what the person says and supporting their own goals. In practice that means the therapist listens closely and helps people notice their strengths and preferences, then uses those as the basis for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood, or addictive urges.
The Gottman Method concentrates on interaction patterns in close relationships. When used it helps people learn specific communication skills and strategies to reduce repeated conflict and rebuild trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the person to pick methods that fit their problems, goals, and what feels manageable. That decision can change over time as goals and needs shift.
Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to help people keep regular appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
