About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Elizabeth keeps language simple and practical so parents can understand what to expect in sessions.
Elizabeth focuses on building on each person's strengths. She treats a person as the expert of their own story and uses that perspective to guide goal setting.
How Elizabeth works
Sessions aim to be collaborative and to make next steps feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Her background includes a range of mental health concerns and related life challenges, such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems.
She also has experience with neurodiversity issues like autism and Asperger syndrome and with personality-related concerns including avoidant and antisocial personality patterns. Elizabeth offers flexibility in scheduling to accommodate nonstandard hours.
She notes living abroad and being eight hours ahead of Colorado time, and her appointment times reflect that difference to suit night shift workers and others who need evening or overnight slots. When someone is ready to begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time.
Elizabeth aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and skill building. One common approach is cognitive-based work that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Another approach emphasizes coping skills for managing mood swings and life transitions, teaching specific tools for emotional regulation and day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist make decisions collaboratively and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats aim to increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or sleep schedules.
