About Talya

Talya Van den Berg is an LCSW and LCSW-C based in Maryland who works with people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationship and family matters, self-esteem, career shifts, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also attends to aging and geriatric concerns, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency, gender dysphoria, immigration issues, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and other specific concerns such as seasonal affective disorder and social anxiety.

Talya draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients clarify values, identify practical steps, and reduce patterns of unhelpful thinking. Her approach emphasizes a warm, supportive alliance that highlights each person’s strengths and resources while collaboratively exploring goals and strategies for change.

With three years of documented experience in Maryland and the credentials LCSW and LCSW-C, she frames therapy as a partnership aimed at finding workable solutions. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

For people seeking help with grief, life transitions, anxiety, parenting adjustments, or ADHD-related concerns, Talya invites clients to begin the process and work together toward more manageable daily functioning and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters self-discovery and personal strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This exploration is ongoing and can be adjusted as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support in a way that aligns with everyday routines.
