Elizabeth Frietsch

Elizabeth Frietsch offers a trauma-informed approach that centers on practical tools and steady support. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and writes in a direct, calm style. Her work focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of trauma.

She has spent several years supporting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, and this experience shaped how she helps others cope with reminders from the past. Elizabeth also supports people who are struggling with eating and body-image issues, intimacy fears, and attachment concerns. She draws on methods that teach concrete skills for emotion regulation and thinking patterns.

Elizabeth understands parenting challenges from lived experience as a foster and adoptive parent, and she knows the practical stressors that come with raising children who have experienced trauma. She is familiar with Trust-Based Relational Intervention, a parenting approach used with children from hard places, and she brings that knowledge into conversations about daily caregiving and boundary setting.

Her background in education and social services informs how she addresses compassion fatigue and burnout. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, offering short-term problem-solving and longer-term trauma work when needed. Elizabeth emphasizes a nonjudgmental and affirming atmosphere for LGBTQIA+ people and others with diverse beliefs.

People who meet with her can expect clear communication, step-by-step strategies, and a focus on small, manageable changes. She schedules with attention to family and work responsibilities, including evening appointment times when available.
