01About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shantharaj is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and family tensions. Elizabeth aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can begin to feel understood and safe enough to start making changes.
She places a lot of importance on the working relationship between client and therapist. Building trust in sessions is a priority, and she also helps clients learn to trust themselves and their own decisions.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and practical, with clear steps for addressing problems as they come up. Elizabeth pays attention to how past experiences shape current behaviors and relationships. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
This often includes exploring attachment issues and patterns of codependency so clients can shift how they relate to others. Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-focused work, mindfulness practices, and EMDR for trauma-related distress. She and each client decide together which methods fit best for the person’s goals.
Clients looking for help with fertility-related stress, shame and guilt, mood concerns, social anxiety, or women’s issues will find these topics within her described focus. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Texas.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy, attachment-based work, and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that adapt well to conversation online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and can find their own solutions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current trust and closeness, helping clients try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practices specific skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something does not feel helpful, the plan can be adjusted together as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or CBT homework between sessions to build steady progress over time.
