Elizabeth Van Den Berg , LPC

Elizabeth Van Den Berg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring that each person is the expert of their own story and bringing compassion and practical skills to help clients build confidence and resilience. Her work includes helping clients manage motivation, cope with change, and navigate mood concerns while fostering the personal resources needed for lasting progress.

Elizabeth currently lives abroad after spending 25 years in Colorado, and her schedule reflects an 8-hour time difference from Colorado. She purposefully offers time slots that serve people who cannot attend traditional 9-5 appointments, including night shift workers, service industry staff, and those who experience difficulty sleeping. When a fitting appointment time is hard to find, she invites potential clients to reach out so she can explore whether an alternative slot is possible; if a suitable time cannot be arranged, she notes that choosing a different therapist with hours that better match one’s needs may be the wiser option.

Throughout her practice, Elizabeth emphasizes support and empowerment, recognizing the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the initial steps toward change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote work. She incorporates cognitive and behavioral strategies that help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. She also uses strengths-based, client-centered methods that focus on building self-esteem, enhancing motivation, and supporting people through major life changes by identifying personal resources and realistic goals. Additionally, she offers mood management and relapse prevention practices aimed at stabilizing mood fluctuations and planning for wellness between sessions.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as progress is made. Clients are invited to share what feels most helpful so the plan evolves together rather than being fixed in advance.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work schedules, time zones, and daily life demands. These options make it easier to access consistent support without traveling, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum through formats that suit the client’s routine and comfort.
