Elizabeth Ivey , LPC

Elizabeth Ivey, who goes by Liz, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in clinical and counseling psychology. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 2013 and completed a master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology in 2015 from Midwestern State University. Early in her career she volunteered and worked for many years at a local shelter, supporting people as they rebuilt their lives after trauma and crisis.

Liz specializes in work with domestic violence survivors, sexual assault survivors, trauma, anxiety, depression, teens, and parenting skills. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, eclectic approach that meets individuals where they are and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on a range of evidence-based techniques, including humanistic methods, cognitive-processing therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling.

She frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which the client sets the direction and the clinician provides guidance and support. Her goal is to empower people to move toward their goals at a pace that feels manageable, using practical tools and compassionate encouragement to foster resilience and growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation or life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own insights and goals. This approach can help people who need space to explore emotions, build self-worth, and strengthen coping skills.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals rather than dwelling on problems. It is often helpful for improving communication, resolving immediate concerns, and creating momentum during times of change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. Working with licensed professionals in this format can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life.
