About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her style is supportive and down-to-earth, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.
In sessions she focuses on clear, reachable goals. That can mean improving communication, building better coping habits, or sorting through grief and trauma.
Background and approach
She offers tools for anxiety, mood problems such as depression and bipolar concerns, and for people coping with addiction and compassion fatigue. Her work draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, shift what they can control, and accept what they cannot.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each persons needs. Elizabeth often helps people facing career strain, relationship stress, or the demands of caregiving and fatherhood issues. She also supports those managing blended family dynamics, communication problems, and family-of-origin concerns.
The aim is to create strategies that fit real life. Based in Ohio, she uses a practical approach that balances reflection with action. New clients typically work on one or two priorities at a time.
Small changes and steady practice are emphasized over quick fixes. Her background and methods are oriented to adults seeking help with parenting questions, coping with change, and rebuilding stronger daily routines. The focus is on usable skills and steady progress rather than labels or complex protocols.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so someone can move forward even with difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and gives clear tools to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and understanding so the person feels heard and can explore solutions at their own pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals from different locations and routines.
