About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Holden is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and parenting concerns. She works with people who need clearer communication and better coping skills.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the client. Together they set small, doable goals and try out solutions between meetings.
She uses plain talk to improve communication and reduce unhelpful reactions.
Background and approach
Clients learn skills they can use at home, work, or school. Elizabeth draws on several therapy approaches to fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction. She also emphasizes the client’s strengths and life story.
That means looking at family patterns, attachment concerns, and how past experiences shape current behavior. Work can include issues like ADHD, addictions, caregiving stress, or work-related compassion fatigue. Sessions are aimed at building self-esteem and improving daily functioning.
Elizabeth helps people navigate big life changes like divorce, fertility struggles, or career shifts. Her approach is steady, respectful, and focused on practical steps.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. In a session the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and build confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with focus or impulse control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and teaching skills, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
