About Elizabeth
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 6 years of clinical experience, Elizabeth Shantharaj helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She sees issues connected to attachment, codependency, fertility-related distress, guilt and shame, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and women’s issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Elizabeth emphasizes building a trusting relationship in therapy while also helping people learn to trust themselves. She frames problems in terms of how past experiences shape present relationships with others and with self. Work in sessions focuses on recognizing unhelpful patterns and practicing different ways of responding in daily life.
Her practice draws on several approaches. Elizabeth uses client-centered work to follow what feels most relevant to each person. She applies attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift thinking and behavior that maintain distress.
The biography also notes the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, for addressing traumatic memories and emotional distress. Mindfulness techniques are included to help manage anxiety and increase present-moment awareness. Elizabeth and each client decide together which approaches fit their goals.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; fees vary by location. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Elizabeth uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at trust, closeness, and repeated interaction styles to help people change how they relate to others and themselves.Client-Centered Therapy is another core method. It emphasizes following the client’s priorities and responding to what matters most in each session. This supports a collaborative decision about what to work on and when to shift approaches.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice alternatives. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, mood symptoms, and social fears by teaching concrete skills to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and choose or combine methods together. That collaborative process continues as goals change over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone options when needed. Confirm current session options and technical details when you schedule.
