About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Holden is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, addiction concerns, or major life changes. She works in Oregon and offers sessions in English.

Elizabeth uses clear, practical steps to help clients set goals and try new ways of coping. She pays attention to communication patterns and self-esteem, and helps people develop skills to manage anger, impulsivity, or work-related compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize small, workable changes that fit day-to-day life. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns and connection, and on client-centered approaches that put the person's experience first. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT to help manage thoughts, behaviors, and intense emotions.

Mindfulness practices are added when they match a client's needs. Elizabeth has supported people dealing with family conflict, blended family concerns, caregiving stress, and issues tied to aging or fertility. She also addresses attachment challenges, hoarding, communication problems, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Her focus includes both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that affect relationships and daily functioning. Starting therapy with her involves setting clear goals and testing small interventions together. She aims to be a steady guide while clients try new strategies, improve communication, and build self-esteem.

The tone in sessions is practical, respectful, and goal oriented, with attention to what actually helps each person in their life.

Online support

How Elizabeth Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Elizabeth often blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their feelings and the patterns that affect relationships. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, so goals come from the client rather than the therapist.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsivity by practicing new responses in everyday situations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. She will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility and keep therapy consistent with the client's schedule and needs.
