About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Newman is a licensed therapist with six years of clinical experience who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship challenges, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, career transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from a client-centered, mindfulness-informed perspective and emphasizes practical, goal-oriented work that attends to emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Newman integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients examine thoughts, build coping skills, and practice present-moment awareness.

She holds licensure as an LCPC in Illinois and an LMHC in Washington, and she aims to form an engaged therapeutic partnership in which clients’ values and objectives guide treatment choices. Her style blends empathy with clear structure so clients can pursue measurable change while exploring the influences of past experiences.

Those seeking a collaborative, skills-focused approach will find her orientation attentive to both immediate concerns and longer-term growth. Elizabeth frames progress as a process of identifying unhelpful patterns, strengthening adaptive responses, and developing strategies that fit each person’s life and goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental collaboration where the client’s values and goals guide the work; this approach supports people who want empathy and acceptance as a foundation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the best fit is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which approaches or combination of methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in therapy while balancing other commitments. These formats make it possible to practice skills between meetings, check in more frequently when needed, and access licensed professionals from different settings, all to help integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
