About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with 15 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and changes in relationships and life stages. She also helps people facing parenting strain, career shifts, grief, and family of origin issues.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear conversations. She uses evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and manage strong emotions. Sessions often include practicing communication skills and building routines that reduce daily stress.
Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to clarify personal values. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to keep sessions collaborative and goal-oriented. These methods are applied to concerns such as codependency, abandonment worries, and blended family adjustments.
She pays attention to how early family roles continue to shape choices and relationships today. That includes exploring attachment issues, family problems, and fatherhood concerns when relevant. Work can include short-term problem solving or longer-term efforts to change repeated patterns.
Practical steps are a common part of her work. People leave sessions with specific skills to try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients use the online matching tool, schedule a first session, and then decide how to proceed based on what they want to address.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn simple exercises to act in line with those values despite anxiety or stressful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's concerns and supports their own problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Sessions may shift over time as priorities change and progress is reviewed together.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find video better for practicing communication skills, while audio or phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Licensed professionals can discuss which format will best match a client's needs during the first meeting.
