About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Her focus includes addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain, and challenges with self-esteem and career pressure.

Elizabeth keeps things straightforward in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. Conversations often center on improving communication, reducing isolation, and building coping skills that fit daily life. She works with adults navigating transitions from young adulthood through midlife.

Her work draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches, with a strong emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify immediate steps forward.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where their goals guide the plan. Elizabeth helps people explore difficult emotions and past hurt while also identifying concrete changes to try between sessions. Sessions mix practical strategies with space to process feelings.

She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental setting where people feel seen and heard. If you want help sorting out stress, addiction questions, parenting strain, or a major life shift, she offers steady support and clear next steps.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's own experience, offering empathy and support while the person finds their own direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then shape sessions around that plan. The therapist aims to be collaborative and to test what helps in day-to-day life rather than prescribing a single method.

Confirm available online session formats before booking, as specific delivery options are not listed in the biography. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some approaches lend themselves to exercises or worksheets that can be used between sessions to track progress and practice new skills.
