About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mabonga is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues commonly faced by LGBT clients. Elizabeth emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own lives and aims to help them notice and use their existing strengths.
Her approach centers on building a respectful working relationship where the client directs goals. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in real-world steps. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are offered to increase awareness of body sensations and reduce reactivity to stress. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small changes that lead to forward movement. Motivational interviewing supports those who feel stuck or unsure about what to try next.
Elizabeth has helped people facing caregiver stress, work and career strain, parenting challenges, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports clients navigating gender dysphoria, relationship structures outside monogamy, and panic disorder and panic attacks by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Her style is direct, compassionate, and practical. She invites people to set concrete goals and to notice progress along the way. If you want a therapist who listens, reflects your priorities, and focuses on usable strategies, she may be a good fit.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, helping people feel heard and steering sessions toward what matters most. This approach fits well online because the therapist and client decide goals together and adjust as needed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. In an online setting CBT can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral changes that people practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity to stress and strong emotions. Online sessions can introduce brief practices and coaching on how to use them during everyday moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adapt strategies as progress is made.
