About Elizabeth Coutts

Elizabeth Coutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 34 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Her work often focuses on relationship concerns, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, anxiety in its many forms, and addiction and substance use, while also welcoming clients who are coping with stress, grief, life transitions, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, career issues, and bipolar disorder.

She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a space where clients feel understood as they sort through what is happening and what they want to change. Elizabeth tailors the conversations and the treatment plan to fit each person’s needs, goals, and situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She also recognizes that reaching out for help can take courage, and she works to make the first steps of therapy feel clear, supportive, and collaborative.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online

Elizabeth Coutts draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and practice new ways of responding to stressors such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be helpful during life transitions, grief, or ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape trust, connection, and boundaries, supporting clients who want to strengthen relationships or better understand recurring interpersonal patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify what is and is not working, and adjust strategies over time based on preferences, pace, and the concerns that feel most urgent.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and may also use live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue work between sessions, and access care from a comfortable location.
