About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She has 15 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways forward.
Her work focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, workplace stress, parenting strain, and the fallout from loss or trauma. She also supports people dealing with addictions, codependency, grief, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges. Sessions often center on improving communication, reducing isolation, and rebuilding a sense of purpose.
Elizabeth uses treatments drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches. She blends those methods to match what each person needs, rather than following a single script. The aim is to teach skills people can use between sessions to handle stress and setbacks.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set realistic goals and small steps toward them. Over the years she has worked with adults across major life changes and caregiving stresses, bringing steady support as people make changes.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering steady listening and reflection to help people feel heard and make their own choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also allow quieter settings when people need less screen time, or make scheduling across a workday simpler. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to maintain continuity of care while people manage family, work, or health demands.
