About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Holden is an LPC licensed in Oregon with 21 years of professional experience. She helps people set practical goals and work toward solutions for everyday problems. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, addictions, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Elizabeth works with clients who want clearer communication and better coping skills. She helps people name what feels stuck and build small, usable strategies to change it. Sessions commonly include practical interventions aimed at reducing symptoms and strengthening self-esteem.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to feelings and attachment-related patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered techniques help keep the work grounded in the client's priorities.
Elizabeth also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when clients need skills for emotion regulation or present-moment awareness. These tools are used alongside goal-setting and communication practice. The focus is on noticeable, manageable changes rather than abstract theory.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about what is happening and clear steps to try between sessions. Elizabeth frames progress as a series of small experiments, adjusting plans as needed. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her therapy approaches translate online
Elizabeth blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment patterns to change unhelpful interaction cycles. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's priorities and experience, helping conversations stay relevant and respectful. CBT provides concrete tools to notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to try first, based on the issues, goals, and how the person prefers to work. Methods can be combined and adjusted over time as progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it simpler to attend when schedules are tight. Elizabeth uses practical exercises, communication practice, and between-session tasks that clients can apply in daily routines.
