I am L. Elizabeth Shelton, GA LPC 008242 and have been fully licensed since 2012, originally in Virginia and since 2015 in Georgia. My theoretical orientation to therapy is CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as I believe it is critical to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and drive most of the problems people struggle to overcome. I have experience working with a wide range of areas/conditions, though most often focus on helping individuals with depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and trauma.

Energy psychology techniques are helpful for working with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety & depression, trauma, and chronic pain.
Even during the best of times navigating the complexities and demands of life can be challenging, and at this time in history we all face life situations for which we may not be entirely equipped. Despite the news of the day in the world around us, now is always a good time to begin a journey of healing. Such a journey brings new perspective and also reveals hidden strengths and skills. Thus, in addition to resolving issues I also see as a goal of counseling for clients to find increased meaning and joy in life. In 2009 I graduated from Brenau University with a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of areas such as ADHD, Autism and Asperger's Spectrum, environmental related learning and peer pressures, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, grief, loss, and relational issues.
Whether by choice or circumstance, we sometimes find ourselves in continuous cycles. Either way this can be tough. One important factor is not holding on to blame, shame, anger, guilt and unforgiveness. These emotions influence our thoughts, behaviors, and actions. Consequences of unwanted repetitive patterns are typically unfavorable. A second important factor is recognizing your power to overcome obstacles. Sometimes life's challenges help uncover how much we can handle. A third important factor is knowing you're not alone. I will help you along your journey as you develop skills to identify, manage, heal and grow.

The one place we all deserve to feel safe in is within ourselves. So many things disrupt that safety - childhood wounds, attachment issues, relational conflict, trauma and more. With each wound, a piece of solace is scraped from our being. For many of us, these experiences have left us feeling “stuck” inside ourselves, trapped, and we can’t get out, when what we desire is our “being” to be a place we love and feel safe in. How we show up in the world - the decisions we make, the trust we have in ourselves, how we navigate relationships, and even the courage we gather to heal- is a direct reflection of how safe we feel.

Every life has its share of challenges and my passion is to work with individuals to reduce the impact and influence of painful thoughts and feelings and to take action to build a life that's rich, full, and meaningful. This looks different for everyone and because of this I strongly believe that every therapeutic experience needs to be tailored to each individual's needs, strengths, goals, and values. In other words, therapy is by no means a "one size fits all" undertaking. After deciding how one wants their life to look, it is a matter of figuring out what needs to be done to get them from where they are to where they want to be.

Depression Therapists
What is the goal of therapy for depression?
Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognize and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.
What happens in therapy for depression?
Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.
What therapy types help with depression?
Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioral activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.
Can therapy for depression be done online?
Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.
How effective is therapy for depression?
Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
