Elizabeth Shartle , LPCC

Elizabeth Shartle is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Elizabeth works with adults who want clearer communication, steadier mood, and more confidence in daily life.

Her sessions are practical and focused. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations often center on skills for coping with overwhelm, sorting relationship patterns, and handling grief or anger without getting stuck.

Elizabeth combines several approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavior techniques to help people change unhelpful habits and notice what matters most. Client-centered methods keep the work grounded in each person’s experience and values.

She has particular experience helping people facing parenting stress, career challenges, addiction recovery, and complicated family dynamics. Her background includes work across a wide range of emotional concerns such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and caregiver strain.

Sessions can be conducted by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules. Elizabeth offers collaborative, goal-oriented care tailored to individual rhythms and life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Elizabeth commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies for mood and behavior change.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily demands and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change as the work unfolds so clients can find what helps them most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is often used for full sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone can be a lower-bandwidth alternative, and brief check-ins or written work fit well by chat or messaging. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel commitments.
