About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Coutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 34 years of experience. She focuses on relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and other common life challenges. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, and she helps people take the first steps toward change.
Clients meet with her in a conversational way. She listens and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify what matters to the client and build practical steps forward rather than relying on jargon.
Background and approach
Elizabeth often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and create action. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen emotional understanding. These methods are applied in simple language and paced to the person who comes in.
She works with concerns such as grief, self-esteem, parenting stress, career questions, bipolar mood management, and problems that follow trauma and abuse. Additional focus areas include abandonment issues, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and chronic illness or pain. Sessions are meant to feel practical and relevant.
Elizabeth helps people set small, doable goals and develop coping skills they can use between meetings. She invites clients to shape the work so it fits their life and priorities.

Online support
Applying familiar therapy approaches to online care
Elizabeth draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot thought patterns that increase distress and practice different responses to those thoughts; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and encouraging small, values-driven actions even when difficult feelings are present; it often helps with motivation, life transitions, and ongoing mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel in practice, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life changes.
