About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Marrufo-Esmele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person's life.
Taking the first step toward change is often hard, and she offers steady support through that process. Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-informed tools like cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused methods to set achievable objectives. Relationship work draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring conflicts. Mindfulness practices are used to slow racing thoughts and increase emotional awareness.
Trauma-focused ideas are applied when past events are getting in the way of current functioning. Elizabeth frames therapy as a collaboration. She encourages people to try short experiments between sessions and to notice what changes.
Progress is measured in concrete ways, such as better sleep, fewer arguments, or reduced substance use. She has five years of professional experience in clinical settings and holds an LPC credential in Texas. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit varied routines and needs.

Online support
Approaches and how they fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates a space to reflect on feelings, strengths, and choices, which can help with depression, grief, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills, managing conflict, and building routines that reduce relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. Sessions may begin with an exploratory plan and adjust over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and communication work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for focused check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share short updates, try brief coping exercises, or check in between longer sessions.
