About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Coutts is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, straightforward help for people facing relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and addiction. She talks plainly and treats people with respect and compassion.
Coutts adapts sessions to each person’s needs and goals. She listens first, then works with clients to set small, doable steps. Therapy often includes talking through current problems, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work supporting people through grief, major life changes, chronic health concerns, and stress from caregiving. She also helps people who struggle with attachment and abandonment fears, body image, and career uncertainty. These areas often overlap, and she addresses them together rather than in isolation.
Elizabeth uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills where they fit the client’s goals.
Her style is steady and practical. She aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. People who want a thoughtful, experienced counselor who will work step by step often find her approach helpful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present relationships; online sessions can use that perspective to help people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action; it works well for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching simple, doable skills to move toward valued goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice concrete changes to feel better and function more effectively.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She helps pick tools, tries them in sessions, and adjusts the plan based on what actually helps the client make progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a work break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share between sessions or get shorter, timely support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.
