About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Newman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma-related concerns. She talks with people about feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and helps them find clearer ways to move forward.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice what is happening in the moment. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions and improve distress tolerance.

In sessions she aims for clear goals and steady progress. Conversations are collaborative - the client’s priorities guide the work. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions.

Elizabeth is based in Washington and holds licenses in Illinois and Washington. She describes herself as caring and committed to joining people on a path toward change. Her style blends supportive listening with concrete strategies that can be used between sessions.

People who come for help with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, or career decisions can expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and goal-focused steps. She frames therapy as a joint effort to strengthen helpful thoughts and behaviors and reduce what keeps someone stuck.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist gives space for people to tell their story while reflecting back what feels most important, which helps clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance so people can handle strong emotions with less overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with mindfulness and CBT exercises, then adding DBT skills where emotion regulation is a struggle. The plan changes as progress is made and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten a check-in during a work break, or avoid travel time. Many people find that video or phone sessions allow consistent, regular work on goals while using the same therapeutic tools they would in person.
