About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Coutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with more than three decades of experience. She focuses on common life struggles like relationships, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. She also helps people facing addiction, grief, parenting stress, and codependency concerns. Elizabeth aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her approach is practical and centered on the individual. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she tailors conversations and a plan that fit specific needs and goals. Sessions mix clear strategies with space to talk through feelings and choices.
Elizabeth uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches support behavior change, emotional regulation, and deeper understanding of relationships and patterns. She adapts techniques depending on the concern and the person’s preferences.
With 34 years of work in counseling, she brings a steady presence and practical problem-solving. People who are worn down by chronic stress, grief, or repeated relationship patterns often seek her help. She aims to help clients build skills, set boundaries, and move toward clearer decisions.
Starting therapy can feel hard and she acknowledges that courage. Elizabeth invites prospective clients to begin with a short matching process and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people understand and change those patterns to improve relationships.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow regular check-ins during life transitions. It can also make some check-ins simpler when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quicker phone-style check-in. Ask about the available session formats when you sign up so arrangements match your daily routine and goals.
