Talya Van den Berg, LCSW, LCSW-C

Talya Van den Berg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW and LCSW-C, practicing in Maryland with three years of documented experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, life transitions, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.

She draws on practical, straightforward approaches in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems, patterns that keep those problems going, and small steps a person can try between meetings. Talya uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to guide those steps.

Clients who have caregiving responsibilities or face medical or aging concerns may find relevant experience here. The profile lists additional focuses such as cancer, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, immigration issues, and isolation, so clinicians can address those topics in therapy conversations.

Sessions are described in plain, direct terms: identifying strengths, testing new responses, and practicing skills that reduce distress. Talya pays attention to cultural background and how culture shapes thinking and behavior, drawing on that awareness when it’s relevant to the work.

People often come for help adjusting to new parenting roles, coping with grief, or managing anxiety and distorted thinking. Therapy aims to give clear, doable tools for everyday life and to build momentum through steady steps rather than quick fixes.
