About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Holden is an Oregon-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, depression, parenting, ADHD, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She helps people set clear goals and develop concrete steps to address problems they bring to sessions.
Her approach centers on improving communication and building coping skills. She works with clients on creating interventions to reduce symptoms and strengthen self-esteem. That can mean practicing new ways to speak about a problem or testing small behavior changes between sessions.
Elizabeth uses familiar therapeutic approaches to guide work in session. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try more effective responses.
She applies emotion-focused and mindfulness tools when feelings are overwhelming. Those methods are used to help name emotions and practice steadying skills in hard moments. Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are offered when people need concrete skills for regulating emotion and managing intense urges.
Over two decades of practice have included family-related themes such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, and communication problems. She also works with issues like attachment struggles, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, fertility problems, hoarding, and impulsivity.
Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details via the online intake process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in brief, practical ways. Client-centered methods focus on listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps set clear goals for each session. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at patterns of thinking and behavior, and offer specific experiments to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.She may also use elements of dialectical behavior therapy for people who benefit from concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT-informed skills are presented as step-by-step tools to practice when emotions run high or impulsive urges appear. Choosing which approaches to emphasize is collaborative; she and the client decide together which methods fit the person's goals and daily life.
The practical advantage of remote work is that therapy can fit into an adult's schedule more easily, such as squeezing a session into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. The focus is on making therapy usable in everyday life while testing approaches that help with communication, parenting stress, and coping with change.
