About Talya

Talya Van den Berg is an LCSW and LCSW-C practicing in Maryland who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to a wide range of related concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, gender dysphoria, and immigration issues. Talya brings three years of clinical experience and draws on a background that includes work in varied settings and an appreciation for cultural influences on mental health.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions emphasize a warm, supportive therapeutic alliance that helps clients identify strengths, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and pursue practical steps toward their goals.

Talya highlights collaboration and respects each person’s pace when exploring grief, adjustment, parenting transitions including new parent concerns, and anxiety-related distortions. Talya accepts international clients and offers services in English.

She holds CA LCSW 25299 and MD LCSW-C 24084 credentials and works with a subscription-based session model that varies by location and therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Talya commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action.

Finding the right mix of approaches is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time so treatment remains practical and centered on what the client wants to accomplish.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to continue consistent therapeutic work while accommodating caregiving responsibilities, work hours, or geographic constraints, and allow clients to engage in skills practice and brief check-ins between sessions when helpful.
