About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping someone feel understood and find manageable next steps.
She uses everyday conversations to identify what is most pressing and what small shifts could make daily life easier. Sessions often include skill-building for mood and stress, clearer communication strategies, and ways to handle anger or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Elizabeth emphasizes real-world tools over jargon so progress feels usable between sessions. Her background includes ongoing work with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and with addictions and caregiver stress. She draws from proven techniques including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
These methods are mixed to match a person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Elizabeth also addresses family-related issues and parenting concerns, including blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, and family of origin patterns. She helps clients sort through relationship and commitment questions while aiming for practical solutions that fit each household.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone where goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Elizabeth holds the LPCC credential and practices in Ohio. Conversations are paced to fit what the person can handle now, with attention to building lasting coping skills.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then move toward values-based action; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry. Elizabeth blends these methods to create clear tools clients can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing techniques. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve and as progress becomes clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around caregiving or work, and use shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule. The focus stays on usable skills and steady progress regardless of which format someone chooses.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
