About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Coutts is a Pennsylvania LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with 34 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addiction, and stress. She also addresses parenting concerns and blended family issues among other life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on practical ways to try something different. She combines methods from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based approaches to help people make changes that fit their day-to-day life.
Elizabeth also draws on attachment-informed ideas when relationships are a core concern. That means looking at how past connections shape current reactions and helping people notice and shift those patterns. When emotions run high she may use skills from dialectical behavior work to help with tolerating distress and managing big feelings.
Her style is person-centered, which means listening first and adapting the plan to what each person brings. She asks concrete questions about routines, relationships, and what has been tried so far. Progress is measured in small, practical steps rather than grand promises.
Clients who contact her usually want clear feedback, workable skills, and a steady approach to change. To start they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are set together.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when people feel blocked by worry, shame, or indecision. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test unhelpful ideas and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people change interaction habits that cause strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative testing makes it easier to drop or add techniques based on what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency and apply skills to real daily situations while still shaping sessions around individual needs.
