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 helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and related stress. Elizabeth commonly supports people facing grief, anger, relationship strain, parenting and career stress, and issues tied to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices in sessions. Conversations focus on noticing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and trying different responses to reduce distress.
Elizabeth emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions include learning specific techniques, checking what works, and adjusting strategies. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and build small, manageable steps toward them.
She works with adults and teens to address trauma, attachment concerns, and patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits. The process is steady and task-focused rather than vague or purely exploratory.
Elizabeth holds counseling licenses in Illinois and Washington state. She offers care in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first appointment.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions tend to be structured and task-focused, which can make it clear what to try between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT provides concrete strategies for handling intense feelings and improving interactions with others. Mindfulness practice is used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and check what helps. Adjustments are made based on what proves useful in day-to-day life rather than sticking to a fixed plan.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals commonly adapt worksheets, skills training, and brief coaching to remote appointments, and Elizabeth uses practical exercises that translate to work between sessions.
