    About Elizabeth

    Elizabeth Newman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties at work or in relationships. Elizabeth also supports those facing parenting strain, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, and big life changes.

    Her style is warm and practical. She uses a client-centered approach that treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions include mindfulness exercises and goal-focused work to help people notice what is getting in the way and try new ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find the motivation to change.

    Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to address unhelpful thinking and improve emotion regulation. She pays attention to trauma and attachment history when it affects current functioning. Work in sessions often mixes skills practice, gentle reflection, and real-world homework to test new strategies.

    She brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard. Elizabeth emphasizes collaboration and sets goals together with each person she meets. She encourages steady, achievable steps rather than fast fixes.

    People who want to start are invited to describe their concerns in a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. Elizabeth’s approach is suited to those ready to try practical tools, build emotional skills, and make gradual, meaningful changes.

  2. How therapy approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and build momentum for steps forward.

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and acceptance. This approach prioritizes the client’s own perspective and supports self-directed growth through empathetic listening.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. It offers practical tools and experiments to test new ways of thinking and coping, which can be practiced between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current situation. That may mean combining motivational work, skills training, and mindfulness to match what the client needs most.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, let someone check in during a lunch break, or try short focused sessions when longer meetings are hard to schedule. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit daily life and the goals you want to reach.
