Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC

Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while people sort through what matters most to them. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings encouragement as they try new ways forward.

Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward practical change. She focuses on small steps that build confidence and coping skills. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to try next.

She has twelve years of experience in clinical settings and lived in Colorado for 25 years before moving abroad. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, autism spectrum differences, personality-related concerns, body image, codependency, communication problems, and relationship commitment questions.

Her schedule is adjusted to a time zone eight hours ahead of Colorado, and she offers appointment times that fit people outside a traditional 9-5 day. This can help night shift workers, service staff, or anyone who struggles to find daytime slots.

Elizabeth aims to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward change. She encourages people to pick manageable goals and build on the strengths they already have.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and manage mood. One common approach she uses focuses on practical behavioral changes and routines that reduce anxiety and stabilize mood; this involves identifying small actions and practicing them regularly to notice real differences. Another approach emphasizes improving self-esteem through goal setting, skill-building, and tracking progress so clients see what works and what to adjust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews goals and preferences with the client, then suggests methods to try. Together they check what helps and change course when needed, so the work fits the client's life and needs.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Practical benefits often mentioned with online work include easier scheduling outside a 9-5 day, fitting sessions around shift work or late hours, and removing travel time so people can focus on the session itself. Talk with the therapist about which session times and arrangements will best fit daily routines and responsibilities.
