About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed therapist with 15 years of experience who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Elizabeth uses plain language and steady support so clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She leans on evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on small, doable changes rather than long explanations. The work often includes communication skills, coping tools, and steps to reduce isolation. Elizabeth also addresses grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strains, and challenges like burnout or compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to how family history, caregiving roles, and workplace stress affect mood and choices. Clients may focus on rebuilding routines, setting boundaries, or improving daily coping skills. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She creates a calm space to practice new ways of responding to problems. Over time that can lead to clearer priorities and less reactivity. Elizabeth holds an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
She practices in Ohio and offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible access.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, mood shifts, and coping during difficult situations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals and preferences. That can mean trying short, solution-focused experiments one week and using ACT skills the next. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style conversations. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum between sessions.
