Elizabeth Newman, LCPC, LMHC

Elizabeth Newman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and stress. She also supports concerns related to parenting, relationships, self-esteem, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and uses mindfulness to slow down racing thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, is part of her toolkit to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Elizabeth draws on six years of clinical experience and blends goal-focused work with a caring stance. She talks with clients about how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, then helps create small, manageable changes. Sessions often include skill practice and real-life steps rather than only talking about problems.

She believes the decision to look for help shows readiness for change. Her style aims to be warm and collaborative so people feel understood while they try new ways of coping. The emphasis is on building tools that fit daily life.

Elizabeth works in English with clients located in Washington. She holds licensure as LCPC in Illinois and LMHC in Washington, which are listed as her professional credentials.

Using CBT, Mindfulness, and DBT Skills Online

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different, more effective responses; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday worry. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy which keeps the sessions focused on each person's priorities and strengths, helping people feel heard while they set goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to build skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a joint effort. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try. From there sessions are adjusted over time so the approach fits the person's needs and daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is desired. Live chat and messaging let people share brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in when schedules are tight. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and other commitments.
