About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Van Den Berg is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Colorado with 12 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing issues linked to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family dynamics.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings to test what helps in daily life.

Elizabeth describes working with relationship patterns that start in childhood and still affect daily behavior. She talks through how expectations, roles, and communication learned early on can shape current stress and self-worth. The work is aimed at helping people notice those patterns and try different ways of responding.

She has experience assisting people managing chronic mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and ongoing depression alongside everyday anxiety and life transitions. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and communication problems related to family of origin issues.

Elizabeth lives abroad but maintains a schedule aligned with Colorado time differences. Her hours include slots outside a typical 9-5 to accommodate people who work nights or have irregular schedules. Before booking, confirm session times and formats to make sure they match your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress and low mood. This helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping strategies.

Another approach looks at patterns that start in childhood such as attachment and family roles. Work in this area involves tracking how early expectations affect current relationships and trying small changes in communication and boundaries to see what shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on the client's goals and preferences. That selection is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Her schedule reflects Colorado time while she lives abroad, and she notes availability in hours outside a typical 9-5 to suit night shift workers and others with irregular schedules. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day or to avoid travel, but check which formats are offered and choose what works practically for your routine.
