Elizabeth Shartle, LPCC

Elizabeth Shartle is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience helping adults through stressful life changes. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel heard and less alone.

She works with adults facing transitions from young adulthood into midlife and the challenges those stages bring. Sessions often concentrate on clearer communication, building coping skills, and reducing isolation. Elizabeth also helps people managing addictions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of aging and geriatric issues.

Elizabeth draws on a mix of approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supports changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-centered methods create space for clients to guide the pace and focus of sessions.

In the room, she aims to make therapy practical and relevant to day-to-day life. That may mean practicing short tools for anxiety, setting small goals between sessions, or talking through relationship patterns. The emphasis is on steps clients can use right away.

She is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC and brings a calm, patient presence to each session. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an appointment that fits their needs.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can help when life changes or loss make decisions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client directs the topics and pace of work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Treatment can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working or priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are supported. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try tools in the settings where they live and practice new skills between sessions. Licensed professionals aim to match methods and scheduling to each person’s life and needs rather than offering one fixed pathway.
