About Elizabeth
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of experience, Elizabeth Bittner helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on body image, communication problems, control issues, eating and food-related concerns, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia. Sessions are conducted in English.
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to talk through immediate concerns and build practical skills. She adjusts conversations and plans to the needs a person brings to sessions. Her background includes supporting athletes with sports-related anxiety, performance issues, and return-to-sport challenges after injury.
In session she listens for what is causing distress and for what helps a person feel steadier day to day. Expect straightforward conversation about symptoms, coping strategies you can try between sessions, and short-term goals to measure progress. She emphasizes clear, concrete steps rather than abstract discussion.
Elizabeth keeps notes on progress and revisits plans when they stop helping. When trauma or panic is present, she works at a pace the person can manage and prioritizes stabilization and safety. For sport-related work she focuses on performance routines, anxiety reduction, and practical return-to-play planning.
People interested in starting are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and measurable steps. For trauma-related concerns she focuses on stabilization and paced interventions that reduce overwhelm and help a person manage flashbacks, hyperarousal, and triggers. For anxiety and panic she uses strategies that teach breathing and grounding, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build short routines to reduce avoidance.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggests approaches to try. Clients and the therapist check what helps and shift techniques when needed so the work stays relevant and useful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether appointments are by video, phone, or another method. A practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy day without extra travel. Remote work can make it easier to keep short check-ins, follow-up visits after an event, or regular sessions around school or work schedules. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and tools to suit each person’s situation.
