About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Newman is a licensed counselor who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. She uses a calm, direct style to help people who feel stuck by stress, worry, grief, or past trauma. Her approach aims to make small changes that add up over time.
She leans on Client-Centered Therapy and mindfulness to create straightforward, practical sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to target unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are goal oriented and focused on skills people can use between meetings. Elizabeth has six years of clinical experience and holds two licenses: Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes work with trauma, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation concerns. In a typical session she will listen first, then offer simple tools to try. She discusses what felt useful and adjusts plans as needed.
Many people find turning ideas into small daily actions makes progress feel more possible. She also supports parents, people facing career or relationship stress, and those coping with grief or compassion fatigue. New work begins with a short conversation and a plan that fits each person’s life.
The emphasis is on practical steps, steady pacing, and clear goals.
How talk therapy, skills work, and online care fit together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment, helping people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them, which is helpful for anxiety and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better coping tools.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful, try techniques, and adjust the plan together based on needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s goals and daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which add flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during sessions, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on anxiety and coping skills into busy schedules.
