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 sees adults and teens for common problems like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma and relationship strain. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and build clearer emotional control.
Her approach is client-centered and mindfulness-based. She uses straightforward, goal-focused work to address how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, learn tools for distress tolerance, and practice skills for handling emotional reactions.
Elizabeth integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to strengthen emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational interviewing helps when a client feels stuck or unsure about change.
She has experience supporting people with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity. Trauma and attachment concerns are a central interest, including coping with past hurts and building steadier responses to triggers.
Her work is practical and conversational. Sessions include skills practice, brief behavioral experiments, and reflective talk about patterns that keep problems going. The goal is steadier reactions and clearer choices in everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in practical ways. Client-centered work focuses on the client's current concerns and goals, helping identify what matters most and how to change it. CBT looks at thought patterns and behavior experiments to reduce unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. DBT provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interactions with others.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work together with each client to decide which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. That process can start in the first few sessions and adapt as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what's offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. Some formats also let sessions be shorter check-ins or use less bandwidth when that suits daily life. Talk with her during the initial scheduling steps about how you prefer to meet and what will work in your routine.
