About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She encourages clients to use their own strengths as the starting point for change and offers steady support through difficult moments.

She emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. Sessions focus on identifying small shifts that make daily life easier. Elizabeth listens for what matters most to each person and works with that material to set manageable goals.

Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical work while based in Colorado. She has experience addressing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency among others. That variety informs a flexible approach to different challenges.

Elizabeth currently lives abroad and schedules reflect an eight-hour time difference from Colorado. Her hours often suit people who cannot attend typical 9-to-5 appointments, including night shift workers and others with irregular schedules. She asks people to reach out if scheduling is difficult so she can see whether an alternative slot is possible.

Her style aims to be direct and encouraging. She helps people notice small changes that build confidence and resilience. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on what the person already does well and what they want to change next.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Elizabeth describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping tools for anxiety, mood shifts, and stress management; these techniques help people handle day-to-day reactions and gain steadier routines. Another common strand is strengths-focused work, which helps people identify what already works in their life and expand those habits to improve confidence and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit the person's situation. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy or nontraditional schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend while working shifts or caring for others. Online therapy can also allow shorter check-ins or evening appointments that better match a client's life. Licensed professionals can help choose the best session structure for each person's goals.
