Elizabeth Newman

Elizabeth Newman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Washington. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and stress. She also supports those facing challenges with self-esteem, parenting, relationship concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is client-centered and grounded in mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. She uses goal-oriented strategies to address how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact.

Elizabeth combines Trauma-Focused Therapy ideas with methods from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior approaches. That means sessions may include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, building distress tolerance skills, and practicing emotion regulation. She also brings motivational interviewing skills to help people clarify what they want to change.

She often frames therapy as a collaborative process. The therapist listens for what matters most, then helps set short-term goals and simple homework to try between visits. Progress is measured in concrete changes people notice in their daily life.

Elizabeth has six years of clinical experience and holds licensure as LCPC and LMHC. She aims to create a space where people can talk through hard memories, regain perspective, and practice new ways of coping. If someone is ready to start, she guides them through the first steps of scheduling and matching to the right plan.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Trauma-Focused Therapy here emphasizes gently processing difficult memories and reducing the ways past events affect current life. It often involves identifying triggers, pacing difficult topics, and practicing coping skills to reduce overwhelming reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says matters most. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify goals, and follows the client's pace while offering support and understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes to see if feelings and behavior shift. It often includes short between-session exercises to practice new ways of thinking and acting.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to identify priorities, test techniques, and adjust methods based on how things are going. That collaborative process helps find what fits a person's needs and goals.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by eliminating travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone join from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and skills-based exercises to an online setting so people can practice tools between sessions.
