Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC

Elizabeth Van Den Berg, LPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and big life changes. She draws on 12 years of professional experience and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Elizabeth emphasizes clients' strengths and works alongside them to identify what matters most and where small changes can help.

She believes people are the experts in their own stories and that therapy is a collaborative effort. Sessions are geared toward building confidence, coping skills, and clearer decision making. Conversations tend to be straightforward and solution-focused, with attention to what is realistic for each person's routine.

Her background includes long-term work in Colorado and a current practice schedule that accommodates nonstandard hours. That schedule was developed to fit people who cannot attend typical daytime appointments, such as night-shift workers or others with unusual hours. Elizabeth notes the importance of finding times that actually work and offers flexibility when possible.

In session she listens for the patterns that get in the way and helps people try new approaches. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, identity and body image, and challenges linked to adoption or blended family dynamics. She also supports people navigating autism, personality-related concerns, and complex co-occurring issues.

Practical tools and steady support are central to her style. If scheduling is a challenge, she encourages potential clients to reach out so she can explore options or advise on finding a better match for their needs.

Evidence-based methods and finding the right fit

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and improved day-to-day functioning. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, helping people notice patterns and try different responses. Another concentrates on strengthening self-esteem and motivation by identifying personal strengths and setting small, achievable goals to rebuild confidence.

Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which approaches match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying something and checking in together to see if it feels helpful, then adjusting the plan as needed.

Because her schedule reflects a nontraditional time zone, she aims to make sessions fit into busy lives. If you need an evening or night appointment, mention that when you start the matching process. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a work break or shift change without rearranging a whole day.
