About Talya
Talya Van den Berg is an LCSW and LCSW-C licensed in Maryland with three years of experience listed for this profile. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, career issues, depression, compassion fatigue, and codependency among other areas.
Talya draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches in short, direct sessions. She listens for what a person is managing day to day. Conversations focus on concrete patterns - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting pulled into another person’s crises - and on small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Her background includes work in multiple settings and locations. That history gives familiarity with medical settings, grief and end of life care, and cultural differences that affect how people cope. Talya also notes experience supporting issues related to caregiving, immigration, chronic illness, cancer, aging, and gender concerns.
Sessions blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused interventions. That mix aims to help people spot unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and set concrete goals for everyday life.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, less automatic caretaking, or strategies to manage anxiety and grief while keeping daily responsibilities. Talya emphasizes working together to test approaches and find what fits each person's situation.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions fit into care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when uncomfortable. It helps when people are stuck avoiding feelings or getting pulled into others' crises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts that drive automatic reactions and gives practical tools to test and change those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can notice their own strengths and preferences.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and everyday demands. That means starting small and changing course if something does not fit.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on hectic days. It also makes it possible to continue meeting with a licensed professional when location or life changes would otherwise interrupt care. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what session length and format will work best for routines and responsibilities.
