Elizabeth Shartle

Elizabeth Shartle is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

She works with adults who are navigating relationship strain, parenting challenges, job stress, grief, or recovery from trauma. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, steadier coping skills, and building a sense of purpose after a setback. Elizabeth also supports people concerned about addictions, burnout, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral ideas. She uses these tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and commit to actions that reflect their values. Work in sessions is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.

Elizabeth pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment wounds, codependency, and challenges tied to caregiving or blended families. She helps clients plan realistic steps for separation, divorce, or shifting parenting roles when those topics come up. The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes.

People who choose Elizabeth can expect a calm, practical space to talk through hard feelings and try new ways of responding. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-guided steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anger, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood, creating space to process emotions and build self-directed goals.

Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. This can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits a day. Discuss format and timing when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.
