About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Holden is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family conflicts, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical problem solving, guiding clients to identify strengths, develop coping skills, and create interventions that address presenting symptoms while bolstering self-esteem. With 21 years of clinical experience, Elizabeth blends evidence-based approaches and a client-centered attitude to improve communication and relationship dynamics.

She works with clients on issues that include ADHD, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue, as well as related areas such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and fertility or aging concerns. Her practice aims to translate insight into sustainable change through skills-building and tailored strategies.

Elizabeth values each person as the expert on their own life and offers steady support for those taking the often-difficult first step toward greater well-being. She partners with clients to explore options, prioritize goals, and apply approaches that fit their needs and preferences.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Elizabeth uses Internal Family Systems to help clients gently explore inner parts and understand competing feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental foundation that prioritizes the client’s perspective and strengths, fostering trust and collaboration in the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping with depression, anxiety, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts plans as work progresses to reflect what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations, accommodate varied schedules, and continue momentum between appointments through messaging options.
