About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Holden is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on practical goal setting and clear steps people can try between sessions. Conversations aim to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems and to test small alternative responses. Sessions include skill practice, straightforward communication coaching, and ways to manage strong feelings.
Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work for spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen to each person’s priorities and on DBT and mindfulness techniques for emotion regulation and attention skills.
She has long experience helping with family dynamics, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and blended family concerns. Practical problems like hoarding, impulsivity, fertility stress, and grief-related guilt are within her focus areas. Elizabeth aims to strengthen self-esteem while reducing day-to-day symptoms.
People who choose to work with her can expect direct, structured sessions that aim for measurable steps. She asks about current goals, suggests experiments to try between meetings, and reviews what helped. The style is straightforward and focused on usable skills.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Elizabeth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with client-centered listening. CBT helps people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try concrete alternatives. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to see which methods match their goals and everyday life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together based on feedback and results.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and to practice skills in real time. For example, a shorter check-in can fit a work break, and audio-only meetings can reduce the need for strong bandwidth. The emphasis is on practical, structured sessions that slot into daily routines rather than on long theoretical talks.
