Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care

Elizabeth Shartle draws from evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into a struggle with them, while building momentum toward values-driven choices. It can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where clarity and follow-through matter.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and practicing practical strategies to shift what is not working. For concerns like worry, self-esteem challenges, and relationship stress, CBT can offer structured tools to use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy supports a warm, collaborative relationship where clients can explore experiences at their own pace and feel genuinely understood as they work toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to tailor sessions to their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in the moment, adjusting over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to get consistent support without the commute. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to stay engaged even during busy or stressful weeks.
