About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Barnett is a licensed mental health counselor with 21 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She works with individuals who want practical tools and steady support while they build healthier routines and stronger coping skills. She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on the individual's goals and strengths.
Sessions blend straightforward conversation, problem-solving, and skill practice so clients leave with things they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Elizabeth balances encouragement with gentle challenge to help people make real shifts. Her background includes nearly two decades in diverse treatment settings. That work informs a flexible style that adapts to what each person needs.
She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Elizabeth also incorporates trauma-focused approaches when past events affect daily life. She emphasizes pacing the work to match each person's readiness and tolerance.
Practical symptom management and gradual exposure to difficult feelings are part of this process. Clients can expect focused attention during live video or phone sessions and follow-up contact through chat or text between visits. Elizabeth aims to hand over the tools so clients can use them independently, while offering steady guidance during the change process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify their own solutions. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and parenting stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals, comfort level, and pace. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and text messages let people follow up between meetings and get brief coaching or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity as life changes.
