About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Koenig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and LGBT-related concerns. She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, control struggles, and problems common in young adulthood.
Elizabeth began her career working across inpatient, crisis care, and outpatient community settings. That range gave her repeated practice managing high-stress moments and longer-term recovery plans. She sometimes brings her black lab, Maggie, into sessions to help reduce anxiety when that is appropriate.
Her stated approach centers on cognitive behavioral ideas. She explains how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors influence each other, then helps people try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Sessions are practical and focused on changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Elizabeth aims to be straightforward and down-to-earth in sessions. She draws on her crisis and community experience when safety or intense distress comes up, and she supports people working through grief, shame, or problems that follow trauma.
For young adults dealing with transitions - leaving home, first jobs, study stress, relationships, or feeling behind - she offers talk-based work that targets mood, social anxiety, sexuality questions, and life-purpose concerns. People interested in starting can follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Elizabeth uses cognitive and practical techniques online
Elizabeth describes her work from a cognitive behavioral standpoint, which looks at how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors affect each other. In plain terms this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different actions to change mood and behavior. This approach is often used for depression, anxiety, social phobia, and problems with self-esteem.She also draws on skills familiar from crisis and community work, focusing on practical coping tools for intense moments. That can include structured problem solving, grounding techniques, and planning small behavior changes to reduce distress after trauma or during grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, current difficulties, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift if something isn’t helping or new needs appear.
