About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Koenig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with three years of experience. She helps people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. She also works with issues like body image, caregiver stress, control struggles, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She has worked in inpatient settings, crisis care, and outpatient community treatment. That background means she is familiar with intense moments and with slower, ongoing work. She often brings her black lab, Maggie, into the office to help reduce anxiety during sessions.
Elizabeth uses a cognitive behavioral perspective. She describes this as looking at how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors affect one another. In practice that means talking through thoughts, noticing how feelings shape choices, and testing different behaviors to see what changes.
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Elizabeth aims to break down problems into manageable parts and help people practice new ways of responding. She talks plainly about coping strategies, boundaries, and small behavior changes that can make daily life feel easier to handle.
She asks people what matters most to them and sets goals together. That includes short-term relief and longer-term shifts in how someone thinks about themselves and their past. People can expect direct, practical conversation about what is happening now and what might help next.
How cognitive approaches and online sessions fit together
Elizabeth describes her main clinical stance as cognitive behavioral, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. In plain terms this approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and practice different behaviors to reduce distress. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and for addressing guilt or shame.She also draws on practical techniques learned in crisis and inpatient settings, which tend to be action-oriented and focused on immediate coping. Those strategies are useful for moments of intense distress and for creating short-term plans to stay safe and steady.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques that feel sensible and doable.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions convenient because they fit into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, or make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Phone or video sessions can allow brief check-ins or longer focused work depending on what the therapist offers and what the client needs.
