Hello! My name is Elizabeth Julian Smith. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from the state of Texas. I attended the Lamar University. You are so brave and strong in reaching out to a counselor. We will walk together on this journey of total wellness. I tell clients we are not going to learn how to just "get over it". We are going to learn to go through it together. I have had experience in anxiety, stress, life planning, depression, and relationship conflicts. I practice Person Centered, CBT, Solution Focused, but I like to tailor my theoretical approach to what my clients need, I am open minded and would like you to feel comfortable in sharing your personal content. I have experience in counseling with all ages. Counseling is a partnership between all parties. I would love to work with you on your life's journey.

Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you. I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy - empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship - are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these. One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge. And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid - really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments. Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey. *** Education: St. Edwards University, Masters in Counseling, 2012.
