About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Barnett is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Indiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective that honors each client's unique story while using practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, addiction, and relationship or intimacy difficulties.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses sleep problems, grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues such as ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Elizabeth blends structured techniques with empathic listening, bringing elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods.

She draws on training in trauma-focused approaches and addictions care to tailor interventions to individual needs, offering support that balances encouragement with gentle challenge. Sessions emphasize collaboration so clients can develop skills and gradually apply them outside therapy.

Clients can expect focused attention during live video or phone sessions and supplemental contact via chat or messaging when appropriate. Elizabeth values work-life balance herself and aims to help clients build lasting tools so therapy becomes less necessary over time.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support clients in online work. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many mood concerns. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while building confidence and self-directed progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit each person. That partnership helps shape sessions so interventions feel relevant and practical for real-life challenges.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for maintaining continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to attend regularly, access supportive follow-up between meetings, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
