Elizabeth Holden, LPC

Elizabeth Holden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, and career pressures. She helps people identify goals and develop practical steps to handle everyday problems.

Her approach focuses on improving communication and building coping skills. Sessions aim to find clear, doable interventions that reduce problematic symptoms and strengthen self esteem. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on.

Elizabeth uses several evidence-based methods to guide work in session, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally-focused elements, and mindfulness practices. These methods are applied in straightforward ways - for example, skills for managing strong emotions, tools to change unhelpful thinking, and exercises to notice physical tension.

She has particular experience with family dynamics, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, impulsivity, and issues that come up around life transitions. That experience includes supporting people dealing with guilt, shame, communication breakdowns, hoarding behaviors, and blended family challenges.

In practice she focuses on what can change now: clearer communication, better stress handling, and manageable behavior adjustments. The work is practical and paced to the person, with attention to both immediate coping and longer term patterns.
