Elizabeth Holden, LPC

Elizabeth Holden is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Elizabeth uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people make and meet goals. She helps clients clarify what matters, set realistic objectives, and test possible solutions. Sessions often involve practicing communication skills and building coping strategies that fit everyday life.

When family relationships are the concern she focuses on patterns and interactions rather than assigning blame. That includes issues common in blended households such as adjusting routines, negotiating roles, and managing loyalty conflicts. She describes the client as the expert on their story and works from that position of respect.

Her work draws on client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques are used where they help people notice patterns and shift unhelpful reactions. She aims to strengthen self-esteem and reduce symptoms that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.

Elizabeth frames progress as a series of small, testable steps. She focuses on measurable changes like clearer communication, calmer responses to stress, and better organization around parenting or work demands. The first appointment is described as a chance to identify goals and begin an achievable plan.
