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 works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, stress, and career concerns. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical change.
Her style is client-centered and goal oriented. She uses mindfulness skills to help slow intense reactions and improve attention to the present moment. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that keep stressful feelings alive.
Elizabeth has worked with people who struggle with distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and attachment wounds. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills where emotional intensity makes day-to-day functioning hard. In session she breaks larger problems into concrete skills people can try between meetings.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people clarify what they want to change and build momentum toward small, realistic steps. The work balances practical homework with talking through how emotions and behaviors are connected.
Clients can expect a collaborative, direct approach that names patterns and teaches new responses. Elizabeth asks questions, offers skill practice, and checks in about what is working. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's concerns. It helps people speak openly about anger, stress, and relationship strain while the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects back what they hear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It is practical for tackling recurring anger, anxious thinking, or low mood by trying small behavioral experiments and changing unhelpful thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. These skills are useful when reactions feel overwhelming and people want tools to reduce immediate reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help identify which skills or methods fit the client's goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan through conversation and feedback. This is a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to schedule consistent meetings, fit therapy into a workday, or try short check-ins when time is limited. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to make sessions fit into everyday life.
