Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My personal mission is to help others find their path to happiness and define what happiness looks like for them; everyone is different. I followed my passion for supporting others by pursuing a BS in Psychology at the University of Houston and an MSW at Walden University. I also hold a Ph.D. in Human and Social Services. I have worked in several clinical settings in nonprofits. I have experience in counseling couples, individuals (adults and young adults), and facilitating groups. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and a client-centered approach. It is so wonderful that you are taking the next step towards change to improve your well-being and mental health. My goal is to help you identify and achieve your goals by providing a safe, authentic, and supportive individualized therapy experience. Please let me know how I may support you. Thankfully, Dr. Elizabeth Barlow

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
