Elizabeth Holden is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people strengthen self esteem, manage stress and anxiety, and cope with life changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, so sessions center on setting clear goals and finding workable steps to reach them.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Conversations often target communication and coping skills, and include exercises aimed at reducing symptoms and building resilience. Elizabeth encourages clients to name problems, try specific strategies, and review what helps or needs adjusting.
Elizabeth often helps people dealing with depression, family conflict, addictions, parenting strain, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing ADHD, anger, and relationship disruptions. Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and other family-of-origin or caregiver stresses.
Sessions are collaborative. She treats the client as the expert on their life and works to amplify existing strengths. Progress is tracked through small, practical changes rather than abstract ideas.
People who come to Elizabeth can expect a calm, direct approach and a focus on usable tools. She invites clients to try strategies, reflect on results, and adjust plans as needed. Taking the first step can be difficult, and she offers steady support during that process.
Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing stress through step-by-step skill building.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to communicate. It can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try techniques that match their needs and preferences. That shared process helps decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skills practice, or emotion-focused strategies.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether you need shorter check-ins, a weekday appointment during a lunch break, or fewer disruptions to your routine.
