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 helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and goal oriented, with attention to the real problems people bring to sessions.
She uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first.
Background and approach
That means sessions are collaborative, and the pace is set by the individual. Elizabeth blends mindfulness practices with practical skills to help reduce reactivity and build steadier coping steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her work when patterns of thinking keep someone stuck.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change and needs to clarify their reasons and next steps. Her background includes work with trauma and attachment-related concerns and with people learning to manage strong emotions.
Elizabeth explains things in plain language and focuses on small, actionable changes that fit daily life. She emphasizes building tools that can be practiced between sessions. Clients can expect a warm, direct style that balances empathy with clear skill-building.
Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way now and create simple, measurable steps toward feeling more able to handle stress and relationships.

Practical approaches for online skill building
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when working online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to shift behavior and mood. DBT skills train emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through small, repeatable exercises.She also integrates client-centered principles by listening closely to goals and adapting methods to fit each person. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review what works and adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see demonstrations and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to check in during busy days. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, and daily life while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
