About Talya

Talya Van den Berg is an LCSW and LCSW-C who supports people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She greets new clients with a warm, supportive approach and aims to help them connect with their strengths. Her style is straightforward and encouraging for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

She draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Talya also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people live with difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and simple skills that can be used between meetings.

Talya has worked in both Maryland and California and has experience in medical and grief settings. That background shapes her work with people dealing with illness, caregiving stress, loss, and adjustment to change. She pays attention to cultural influences and the ways culture affects how people experience mental health.

Her areas of focus include parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship and family issues, compassion fatigue, career worries, and life purpose questions. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic illness, immigration challenges, and gender dysphoria.

With three years of documented experience in the provided record, Talya aims to be an ally during difficult periods. She invites clients to work at a pace that fits them and to try practical strategies that match their goals.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Talya uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them and to take steps toward what matters. This approach can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on values and small actions.

She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. That focus on connection helps people feel heard and supported while they try new coping strategies.

Cognitive behavioral techniques are another part of her practice. These techniques help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Talya will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs and will collaborate to choose or adapt methods that fit. This is a team process where adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, allowing them to connect from wherever they are located. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule check-ins, reduce travel time, and keep continuity of care when life gets busy, while therapists help shape sessions to match clients' practical needs and goals.
