Elizabeth Koenig

Elizabeth Koenig is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, and LGBT-related concerns. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and related struggles.

She has worked in inpatient, crisis care, and outpatient community treatment settings. Those roles shaped how she responds to people who arrive feeling overwhelmed or unsure what comes next. Sessions often reflect a cognitive behavioral perspective - looking at how feelings, thoughts, and behaviors influence one another.

In the room she uses practical conversation and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries small changes that can ease daily pressure. She sometimes brings her black lab, Maggie, to sessions to help lower anxiety.

Elizabeth keeps language straightforward and action-focused. She aims to help people cope with intense moments, manage mood shifts, and consider steps toward clearer priorities. Her background in crisis and inpatient care informs how she responds when things feel urgent.

People who are exploring life purpose or young adult concerns can work on concrete options and short-term goals. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and checking what actually helps day to day. She invites clients to try approaches and see which fits best.

How cognitive behavioral techniques translate to online work

Elizabeth often uses cognitive behavioral ideas, which help people notice and test links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can follow the same steps as in person - identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed. These techniques are helpful for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma-related symptoms.

She also draws on approaches suited to crisis and community work, focusing on clear problem-solving and short-term stabilization when needed. That style aims to reduce immediate distress and set concrete next steps, which can be especially useful for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods and adjust based on goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to keep, change, or stop using as progress is assessed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care after a move or a schedule change, while still focusing on practical skills and problem-solving.
