About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is an Ohio LPCC with 15 years of clinical experience working with adults. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting strain, grief, relationship problems, mood disorders and other life changes. Elizabeth’s practice addresses both day-to-day pressure and longer-term emotional struggles people bring from family relationships and past experiences.
She focuses on clear, practical work in session. That can mean learning new ways to notice difficult thoughts, building skills for handling strong emotions, or practicing better communication. Sessions are conversational and aimed at small, usable changes that make home life easier.
Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral work, client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies. That mix supports people who want to reduce avoidance, respond differently to stress, or set more effective boundaries. She also brings existential ideas when clients want to look at values and meaning during life transitions.
Her background includes helping people cope with addiction, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, blended-family challenges and issues tied to family of origin. Practical topics such as fatherhood concerns, divorce and separation, and work-related stress are part of her caseload.
Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them, make small behavioral changes, and try new approaches at home. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance around addiction, parenting stress, and deciding what matters during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and rebuilding routines after upheaval. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and the client’s pace, giving people space to name their struggles and try ideas without pressure.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. That might mean combining ACT with CBT skills, or focusing on solution-focused steps for a specific parenting challenge.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy week. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins easier, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to be scheduled around work or caregiving duties. The therapist will work with clients to set a plan that fits home life and obligations.
