About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Newman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the ripple effects of those experiences. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting pressures, career shifts, and ADHD-related challenges. Elizabeth uses a direct, approachable style to help people find clearer ways forward.
She practices in Washington and holds a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Elizabeth has six years of clinical experience.
How Elizabeth works
She frames therapy around practical goals and the concerns a person brings to sessions. Her style is client-centered and mindfulness based. That means she listens first, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice how thoughts and feelings show up in daily life.
She pairs that with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Elizabeth also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques. Those approaches help with distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and finding motivation to try new strategies.
In sessions she teaches skills, practices them with clients, and adjusts plans to fit each person’s needs. People who choose to work with her can expect a warm, straightforward clinician who focuses on concrete change. She invites collaboration and helps clients set realistic steps toward their goals.
Therapy is paced to match each person’s situation and capacity.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns in a nonjudgmental way. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about goals and practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific strategies to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills offer concrete techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they test approaches, adjust them, and build a plan that feels doable in everyday life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different needs. Video is good for longer sessions and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
