Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Jo and I appreciate you taking a look at my profile to consider if I might be a good match for what you need.
MY EXPERIENCE: I am an independently licensed counselor (LPCC) with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My career journey has placed me within:
Intensive Psychiatric Hospital settings, Correctional settings, Substance Treatment Centers, and Community Counseling Centers.
WHAT I’VE LEARNED: The common factor that everyone I have ever supported through my counseling services seems to have is that they just want to feel better now.
They also want to have the tools, insight, and motivation to keep feeling better and to keep making the choices that will help them to feel stable, safe, happy, content and engaged in life in a way that works for them.
MY APPROACH: I believe that every individual is doing the best they can in the moment in their lives. Sometimes help and support is needed to manage the stressors that life throws our way. My approach is very person-centered. When I meet with you, it’s a conversation. You know yourself. My job is to understand you: your needs, wants, desires, obstacles, strengths and growing edges, dreams, fears, challenges. How we work together depends on your needs and who you are as an individual.

Elizabeth Chavez is an independently licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Her career has included work in intensive psychiatric hospital settings, correctional facilities, substance treatment centers, and community counseling centers, giving her a broad perspective on clinical needs across varied environments.
She approaches therapy from a person-centered stance, treating sessions as a collaborative conversation. Elizabeth seeks to understand each person’s strengths, obstacles, values, goals, and fears so that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a predetermined plan. She believes people generally want to feel better now and also want practical tools, insight, and motivation to maintain stability, safety, contentment, and engagement with life.
Elizabeth has focused experience addressing trauma and grief, depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, and existential concerns. In practice she draws from a range of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, somatic approaches, relational and systems work, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, narrative techniques, and motivational methods, adapting her approach to match each person’s needs.
Her style is supportive and pragmatic. When working together, she centers the client’s knowledge of themselves and helps build practical skills and insights to promote lasting change. Elizabeth aims to help people feel steadier and more capable of making choices that support a life that works for them.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, research and clinical experience show that remote therapy is an effective option comparable to in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. This adaptability can reduce barriers to getting support when it is needed.
Licensed professionals provide care through these remote methods, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different clinical fit. For many people, online therapy offers practical access to evidence-based treatment and consistent support while navigating everyday challenges.
