Elizabeth Woody

Elizabeth Woody is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate located in San Antonio, TX. Elizabeth supports teenagers, young adults, and adults in both individual and couples settings. Many of Elizabeth’s clients constantly seek acceptance, basing their whole self-worth on the opinions of others. They suffer from heightened levels of stress in their lives, which may have originated from perfectionistic tendencies or trauma. They struggle to regulate their emotions, including emotions like fear, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or disappointment.

Elizabeth helps her clients navigate these difficult emotions through the use of several evidence-based therapy modalities. Clients grow their self-compassion, learning to tell their story of resilience through narrative therapy. They also benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapy modality that reduces the negative self-talk that results in low self-esteem and low self-worth. Elizabeth also incorporates mindfulness practices in her work with clients, helping individuals slow down and observe their thoughts rather than get stuck in thought spirals. Her goal is to show clients how to reframe core issues and internalize that they are strong people who deserve to feel happy.

Elizabeth earned a Master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio and is supervised by Robert K. Franklin PhD, LPC-S. She is a collaborative therapist who lets the client lead their own treatment. By showing clients that they are innately resilient, she helps them feel in control of their lives and emotions so they can feel confident when facing stress.
