About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Holden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 21 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people feel more capable and confident.
She works with people who are juggling parenting, career demands, caregiving roles, or major life changes. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Background and approach
Elizabeth helps clients set clear goals and create small, workable steps toward them. Her background includes long-term clinical work with a wide range of concerns such as addiction, anger, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, blended family dynamics, and fertility or bereavement-related stress.
This variety informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs. Elizabeth uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical and mindfulness practices help with emotion regulation and staying present. People who meet with Elizabeth can expect clear goals, practical tools, and a collaborative tone.
She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. The focus is on usable skills that fit into a busy life and lead to more balanced day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Elizabeth often uses client-centered work to follow what the person finds most important. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and helping the client shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or combine approaches based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means strategies can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect: video calls for fuller conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text messaging for short, ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, try brief skill check-ins between meetings, or choose a call length that matches immediate needs.
