Elizabeth Holden is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday challenges that make life feel overwhelming. Elizabeth works in a straightforward way so people can begin to feel steadier and more capable soon after starting work together.

Elizabeth is familiar with challenges that come with aging, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

In the room she blends gentle coaching with practical exercises. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, practicing new ways to talk about hard topics, and using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows each person's lead, reflects back what matters, and helps set realistic goals; this approach helps when someone feels unsure where to begin. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process helps adjust the focus over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend regular check-ins. Some session styles are shorter and focus on skill practice, while others use a fuller hour for deeper conversations, helping therapy fit into work, caregiving, or other routines.
