Elizabeth Van Den Berg , LPC

Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She also offers support for bipolar disorder and depression. Her approach centers on clients' strengths and choices.

Elizabeth treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for what matters most and helps identify small, doable changes. Sessions aim to build confidence, boost motivation, and improve daily coping skills. That makes work on stress and anxiety feel more manageable.

With 12 years of professional experience, Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She tailors strategies to fit a person's goals and routine instead of using one-size-fits-all methods. Her work often focuses on improving communication, addressing attachment concerns, and managing overlapping issues like codependency or caregiver stress.

Elizabeth has additional experience with adoption and foster care topics, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and body image. She also supports people navigating kink and alternative sexual cultures, blended family roles, and commitment or abandonment worries. These areas are woven into practical, goal-focused sessions.

She maintains a schedule that can accommodate nontraditional hours, which may suit night-shift workers or people who have trouble sleeping. Elizabeth practices as a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches and what online therapy looks like

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical tools and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes skill building for managing anxiety and mood shifts, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity strategies that help lessen daily distress. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and replacing it with more balanced thoughts to improve mood and motivation. Both methods are aimed at everyday problems like stress, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels helpful and adjust techniques to match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means methods can shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into shift work, irregular schedules, or busy lives while keeping treatment focused and practical.
