About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Barnett is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She offers steady, respectful support and practical tools that parents and busy adults can use between sessions. Elizabeth draws on two decades of experience to meet each person where they are.
Her approach centers on the person in the room. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Elizabeth blends client-centered care with concrete skills so people can notice small changes that add up over time. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop realistic action steps. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and build momentum quickly.
Trauma-informed methods guide work around past hurts and safety when that is needed. Over 21 years she has worked in a range of settings and with a wide array of concerns, including depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, first responder stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and social anxiety.
Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Elizabeth asks clients to treat therapy as a team effort where skills practice between sessions matters as much as the conversation in the room.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the client's goals and lived experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought that feed anxiety or low mood and replaces them with practical actions and experiments to test new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to lean more on skills-based CBT, solution-focused steps, or trauma-informed care depending on the issue at hand.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a written approach feels easier to process. These options make it simpler to keep consistent treatment and fit sessions into a busy life.
