About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Libby) Maple is a Colorado LCSW with 10 years of experience. She works with adults coping with family concerns, trauma and abuse, substance use, parenting challenges, mood disorders and anxiety. Libby focuses on how a person’s past and family history shape current patterns and choices.

She talks with people about their family of origin issues and how those early roles and expectations continue to influence relationships today. Sessions often cover grief, addiction, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression, and day-to-day stress and worry. She also addresses parenting questions and reproductive or pregnancy-related stresses.

In therapy Libby treats each person as the expert on their life. She helps people notice repeated patterns, name what’s causing strain, and try different ways of responding. Conversations look at both past experience and current behavior so people can make practical changes that fit their life.

Her work includes support for people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family problems, adoption and foster care questions, and co-occurring substance use. She also works with those navigating ADHD, impulse control, eating difficulties, anger, and grief.

Libby’s background as a licensed clinical social worker shapes a practical, down-to-earth approach. She listens for what matters most, helps set clear goals, and supports steps toward change people can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding history and changing present behavior. One approach emphasizes exploring family patterns and attachment concerns to see how early roles affect relationships now; this helps people notice repeated reactions and try new ways of connecting. Another approach focuses on coping skills for mood and anxiety symptoms, teaching concrete strategies to manage stress, mood swings, and impulsivity in everyday life.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and how past experiences shape current needs. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making regular check-ins easier to keep. If you want specifics on session formats, please confirm the current options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and reduce time spent traveling to sessions.
