About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Barthol is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people facing a range of stressors and mood concerns.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, depression, attention-related challenges such as ADHD, and the emotional impacts of grief and trauma, while fostering greater self-esteem and motivation. Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues as well as LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns.

Barthol emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s particular circumstances. She also has experience with caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and co-occurring challenges like impulsivity and bipolar symptoms.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and supportive coaching toward clearer coping strategies, improved emotional regulation, and stronger communication skills.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access



Elizabeth uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill-building and practical change. One approach focuses on teaching coping and emotion-regulation skills to reduce anxiety and manage depressive symptoms, helping clients develop routines and strategies to improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on attention and impulsivity management, offering structured techniques and behavioral strategies that can support people navigating ADHD-related challenges and improve focus and organization.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then adjusts methods and pacing so treatment aligns with what matters most to the client. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, provide continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
