About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life transitions. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
She aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward clearer goals and better daily functioning. Elizabeth keeps therapy straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life problems and small, doable changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood swings, reduce worry, and rebuild self-confidence. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs in the moment.
Her background includes a long practice in Colorado and a broad range of clinical experience across mood and adjustment concerns. That history gives her a solid sense of how these struggles often play out over weeks and months. She combines that perspective with respect for the client’s own priorities and timeline.
Elizabeth’s schedule reflects her current time zone difference from Colorado, which can make evening and overnight appointments easier to find. She offers several online session formats to fit different needs and routines. People who need flexible hours often find this helpful when daytime appointments aren’t an option.
Therapy starts with a brief intake and a shared plan for what to work on first. Elizabeth encourages open communication about what is or isn’t helping so the plan can change when needed.
Evidence-based approaches for online mood and stress work
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress. One approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and depression, teaching coping strategies and simple routines that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes mood stabilization and problem solving for people with bipolar symptoms, helping to recognize patterns and build consistent self-care habits that support steadier days.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are revisited regularly so techniques can be adjusted when something isn’t working or when new priorities arise.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have conversational sessions with visual connection, while phone sessions can be useful when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing motivation, and quick skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules, including nontraditional work hours and nights.
