About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Newman is a licensed counselor who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to support clients as they find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Her approach is client-centered and goal oriented. She uses mindfulness to help people recognize patterns in their thoughts and feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior techniques to build practical emotion regulation skills.

In sessions she focuses on concrete steps that fit into daily life. Conversations often include learning a new skill, trying a different response, and then reviewing how that change felt. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and helps people set realistic, reachable goals.

Elizabeth holds a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential from Illinois and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential from Washington State. She talks openly about trauma and attachment concerns and works with issues like grief, anger, and challenges around parenting and career transitions.

People who prefer a collaborative therapy style will find a straightforward and compassionate listener. She encourages curiosity about thoughts and behaviors and partners with clients to strengthen what already works while changing what does not.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so each session centers on what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which is helpful for strong emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful. That means trying strategies, checking what works, and adjusting the plan based on the person's goals and preferences.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that practicing CBT or DBT skills between sessions helps integrate change into daily life, and a collaborative plan can be shaped to fit work, family, and self-care routines.
