About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Coutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 34 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting stress, and anger. Elizabeth focuses on practical help for everyday problems and life transitions.
She uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions emphasize clear skills and small steps so people can test new ways of responding to stress and frustration. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions.
Elizabeth treats concerns ranging from career and coping with change to chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image. She also works with clients who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, and blended family challenges. She aims to help people reduce shame, manage strong emotions, and rebuild day-to-day functioning.
Her approach is straightforward. Conversations focus on what currently gets in the way and what could work better. She adapts the pace and tools to each person’s situation, and uses practical exercises between sessions.
For those taking the first step, she offers a supportive, no-nonsense way to start sorting problems out. If you want direct feedback, concrete strategies, and steady support while you practice new skills, Elizabeth can help you begin that process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. ACT is often useful when anger is tied to painful memories or ongoing stress because it helps separate what matters from automatic reactions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that fuel anger and to practice different responses. CBT gives concrete tools for testing beliefs and changing behavior in everyday situations. Finding the right method is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss options and try approaches that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions so people can try skills between meetings and report back on what helped. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays or caregiving schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and let people choose not to be on camera if that helps them focus. Many licensed professionals use these options to help clients practice new skills in real life and track progress over time.Areas of expertise
