About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Newman is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. She also supports clients dealing with relationship issues, parenting stress, grief, anger, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Elizabeth uses straightforward, practical methods so people can start feeling steadier sooner.
She takes a client-centered approach and brings mindfulness into sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to each person, and simple awareness practices are used to reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Elizabeth also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Sessions often include skills practice and pacing that fits the client’s day-to-day life.
Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck and want help finding reasons and steps to change. She holds licenses as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, in Illinois and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, in Washington. Elizabeth has six years of clinical experience and works with adults who are ready to address painful memories, difficult emotions, or parenting stressors.
People describe her style as warm and direct. In sessions she listens, offers practical tools, and helps set small goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and life circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and goals, giving space to what matters most and shaping sessions around individual needs. This helps when someone is unsure where to begin or wants a collaborative process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, often through step-by-step skill practice.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust pace and focus as needs change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions are good for deeper conversation and face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-energy days. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges for coaching and skill reminders. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily routines.
