Elizabeth Holden

Elizabeth Holden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting strain, and other life challenges. Her style is straightforward and supportive for those who want clearer goals and practical steps.

She focuses on helping people set small, realistic goals and build skills that work in daily life. Sessions often include improving communication, strengthening self esteem, and finding better ways to cope with strong emotions. Elizabeth emphasizes concrete strategies that clients can try between meetings.

Elizabeth draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the person's priorities and cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also includes mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they match a client's needs.

With 21 years of experience in Oregon, Elizabeth has worked with many people facing family stress, relationship problems, and life transitions. She sees compulsive behaviors, impulsivity, and addiction-related struggles as part of the broad range of issues she supports. She also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and challenges tied to attachment or neurodiversity.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Elizabeth helps people outline steps, try new skills, and adjust plans as needed. She invites someone ready to make changes to start with a short matching questionnaire and then set up a schedule that fits their life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's priorities and listening carefully to what matters most. It helps people feel heard and steer sessions toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication which can help with impulsivity and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time and collaborates on what to try between sessions so progress feels concrete and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. For many people, remote sessions mean they can practice skills in their usual routines and bring real examples to the next meeting, which helps the therapist tailor interventions to real life.
