About Talya
Talya Van den Berg is an LCSW and LCSW-C who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, career stress, depression, and compassion fatigue. Talya practices in Maryland and offers help in English.
She focuses on building a warm, supportive connection that helps people notice their strengths. Sessions tend to be practical and solution-minded, with attention to thoughts that fuel anxiety. Talya draws on client-centered work to hear each person’s story and on cognitive approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Her background includes work in medical settings, schools, and grief and end-of-life care. That experience informs how she helps people cope with chronic illness, caregiving strain, cancer-related concerns, and aging issues. Growing up overseas gives her an awareness of culture and how it affects mental health and life change.
Talya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice feelings without getting stuck. She also uses solution-focused strategies when someone needs short-term, goal-oriented work. Together these approaches help with codependency, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding purpose after loss or big life shifts.
She has three years of documented experience as an LCSW clinician and holds LCSW (California) and LCSW-C (Maryland) credentials. Talya encourages straightforward conversations and practical steps people can try between sessions.
How Talya’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with grief, life transitions, and codependency.Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental stance. That approach helps people feel heard and supported as they work through parenting stress, relationship concerns, or self-esteem issues.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Talya will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. She tailors methods so sessions match current needs and short-term or longer-term goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to continue work while living far from a therapist. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered skills, and solution-focused techniques to work well across different ways of meeting online.
