About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Barthol is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, LGBT-related issues, and coping with life changes. She also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related struggles.
Elizabeth frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens to what is happening now and focuses on workable steps for change. Conversations include how feelings affect day-to-day choices and clear options for managing symptoms and relationships.
Her background includes a decade of helping people navigate major transitions. That includes support around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also has experience with domestic violence, grief, and complex co-morbidity concerns.
In session she helps clients sharpen communication, manage anger and impulsivity, and address guilt or shame. Work may include developing routines, problem-solving around parenting or blended household logistics, and building strategies for emotional regulation.
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She adapts the approach to client goals and preferences, and she encourages a collaborative process to figure out what helps most. Practical tools and short-term skills often sit alongside longer-term emotional work.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit remote work
Elizabeth draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior and emotion. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Another approach focuses on building practical skills for managing emotions and impulses, which can help with anger, ADHD traits, and relationships.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and practical constraints like time and energy. Together they decide whether short-term skills work, longer-term processing, or a mix makes the most sense.
