Elizabeth Schobitz, LCSW

Elizabeth Schobitz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety among a range of concerns and aims to make sessions practical and straightforward. She presents a calm, direct style and encourages clients to take an active role in their care.

Elizabeth has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has experience supporting people after trauma, including sexual assault and post-traumatic stress, and has worked with mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and related challenges. Her background includes clinical work in hospitals and clinics where she provided evidence-based care to veterans, soldiers, and civilians.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values and goals, and build small steps toward change. Trauma-focused work is also part of her practice for those processing difficult events.

Elizabeth describes her style as warm, authentic, and collaborative. She emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion in sessions and invites clients to help shape their treatment plan. She looks for practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

People who want clear, hands-on strategies for managing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or complicated mental health concerns may find her approach useful. To begin, she asks that people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for chronic anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes to shift mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events through careful, paced work tailored to each person's readiness.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and concerns and help decide which methods or combination of methods fit best. Expect an ongoing conversation rather than a single decision at the first session.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so work or caregiving responsibilities are easier to manage. It can also let people continue care when relocating within the same region. Licensed professionals, including therapists, adapt these approaches to the online setting to focus on practical skills and steady progress without promising specific outcomes.
