About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and brings a calm, practical approach to appointments.

Elizabeth believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. She focuses on helping clients notice those strengths, set small goals, and build steady routines that make daily life easier. Sessions aim to be straightforward and supportive rather than full of jargon.

She offers flexible scheduling that reflects her time zone differences from Colorado. That can include hours outside a typical 9-to-5 day, which may suit night shift workers and others with nonstandard schedules. If a schedule conflict arises she invites people to ask about alternate times.

In sessions she listens first, then helps people choose practical steps to manage symptoms and cope with change. Common topics include communication struggles, commitment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and challenges related to adoption or attachment.

Her work often centers on day-to-day coping strategies, small behavior changes, and problem solving. The goal is to make progress that feels achievable and relevant to the person’s life. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels safe and doable.

How evidence-based approaches shape online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and daily stress. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. This method helps people notice thinking patterns and try new, kinder responses in everyday situations.

Another approach emphasizes building routines and small behavioral changes to stabilize mood, which can be helpful for people with bipolar disorder or chronic low mood. That work often includes planning daily activities, sleep patterns, and practical coping skills to make life more predictable and manageable.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments outside typical business hours. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or times that suit night shift work and nonstandard schedules.
