Elizabeth Shartle, LPCC

Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She brings 15 years of experience and a calm, straightforward manner. People come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and help with major life changes.

She uses approaches that encourage action and self-understanding. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented, with room to talk about feelings and values. Clients learn tools to manage symptoms and step toward the life they want.

Elizabeth supports people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, workplace pressure, and the fallout of trauma or abuse. She also helps with issues like burnout, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to family of origin. The work often combines short-term problem solving with deeper personal reflection.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thought patterns and behaviors, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that clarifies values and builds meaningful action. She also draws on client-centered listening and solution-focused strategies to keep sessions practical and hopeful.

Sessions are offered from Ohio and conducted in English. Elizabeth aims to create a steady, respectful space where someone can name what’s hard, try new ways of coping, and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and life situation, and may blend techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
