Elizabeth Barnett, LMHC

Elizabeth Barnett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 21 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy from a client-centered, holistic perspective, combining evidence-based methods with practical skills to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationship challenges, mood disorders, parenting concerns, and other life transitions.

Trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Illness Management and Recovery, family systems approaches, and a range of addictions-informed techniques, she tailors interventions to each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed model. Sessions blend encouragement and reinforcement with thoughtful, gentle challenge so clients can build tools and insight over time. Elizabeth sees therapy as a collaborative process - she guides and illuminates options while expecting clients to take an active role in their own growth.

She values work-life balance and brings full attention to live video or phone sessions, with follow-up available by chat or messaging between meetings. Her aim is practical progress: to equip clients with skills they can use independently so that, over time, her role naturally becomes less central to their lives.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a Licensed Professional

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration. In this approach Elizabeth prioritizes the client’s perspective and supports people as they identify their own goals and solutions - it is often helpful for stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and general life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Elizabeth uses CBT techniques to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep difficulties, and coping with change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences with techniques designed to reduce distress and build resilience. This approach can assist those dealing with abuse, first responder stress, and complications related to past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth collaborates with each client to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support between meetings, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
