About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Newman is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and related concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings a client-centered, goal-oriented stance to sessions and emphasizes mindfulness and trauma-informed care while supporting work on parenting, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. With six years of clinical experience, Elizabeth integrates evidence-informed tools to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to address distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and attachment-related patterns. Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to each person’s individual history and goals.

Elizabeth holds licensure as an LCPC and as an LMHC in Washington, and she aims to join clients in a collaborative process of change. She frames therapy as a partnership in which clients explore difficult memories, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen coping skills to move toward the life they want.

Online Therapy with Practical, Skills-Focused Approaches

Elizabeth commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching concrete techniques for new responses. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build skills in emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship stress. Client-centered work is woven throughout sessions, emphasizing a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports each person's goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth explores a client's needs, preferences, and goals to tailor which methods are emphasized, and she encourages collaboration in selecting strategies and setting achievable objectives. This collaborative stance helps clients try specific techniques while staying attuned to what feels most helpful for them.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow for regular engagement around schedules, steady continuation of skills practice between meetings, and options for people who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins as well as traditional-length sessions.
