About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. She centers care on collaboration and practical strategies, guiding clients to build communication skills, cope with change, and recover a stronger sense of purpose.

Background and approach

Her work addresses a broad range of emotional concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting stresses, career pressures, and compassion fatigue. She also attends to issues like attachment difficulties, codependency, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain, tailoring interventions to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Elizabeth blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered stance, placing particular emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy while drawing on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques as appropriate. She aims to create an accepting space where adults can explore difficult emotions, practice new coping skills, and make measurable progress toward better functioning.

Based in Ohio, she offers a supportive partnership for those ready to address personal and interpersonal concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer



Elizabeth commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. ACT focuses on helping people live in line with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, grief, and life transitions. CBT emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods as therapy progresses so that interventions match changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while supporting practical change and emotional growth.
