Elizabeth Holden, LPC

Elizabeth Holden is an Oregon licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem.

Elizabeth focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. She helps people set goals and test small solutions that fit their lives. Sessions often include ways to manage upsetting feelings and to build steadier coping routines.

Her work pays attention to family patterns that keep repeating in adulthood. She talks with clients about roles, expectations, and interactions that came from the family they grew up in. Together they look for ways to change responses that no longer work.

Elizabeth draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape conversations. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

In practical terms she aims to improve communication, strengthen self-esteem, and develop coping skills. People who want concrete strategies and clearer ways to handle family conflict or the stress of life changes may find this approach useful. The first step is identifying a small, manageable goal and testing what helps.
