Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC

Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a Colorado-licensed counselor with 12 years of professional experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, bipolar disorder, depression, and life transitions. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical coping and emotional growth while respecting each person's expertise in their own story.

Elizabeth approaches therapy with a strengths-focused mindset, believing that clients already possess resources that can be strengthened to meet challenges. She emphasizes courage and gradual change, offering support and empowerment as people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her work centers on building skills for managing mood, reducing anxiety, and improving self-worth so clients can pursue clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Although licensed in Colorado, Elizabeth currently lives abroad after spending 25 years in Colorado. She works eight hours ahead of Colorado time and schedules reflect that time difference. Her availability is intentionally accommodating to people who cannot attend traditional 9-5 appointments - for example night shift workers, service staff, or those with irregular sleep schedules. If a suitable time slot is not visible, she invites prospective clients to reach out to explore options, while also acknowledging that choosing a therapist with hours that better fit a client's schedule may sometimes be the wiser course of action.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and mood management. One approach centers on structured skill-building to teach coping strategies for stress and anxiety - these techniques help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and reduce day-to-day distress. Another approach emphasizes mood management and stabilization strategies to address depression and bipolar symptoms - this work typically involves learning routines, mood tracking, and behavioral changes that support steadier functioning. A third area of focus is problem-focused interventions for life transitions - these methods help clarify goals, build decision-making skills, and strengthen resilience during major changes.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Elizabeth can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, night shift work, and geographical constraints, making it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
