Talya Van den Berg, LCSW, LCSW-C

Talya Van den Berg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds LCSW-C licensure in Maryland. She has three years of experience and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, life changes, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationship and family matters, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.

She focuses on straightforward conversations about what is hard right now. Talya helps people notice thinking patterns, manage strong feelings, and find small steps that make everyday life easier. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented while remaining person-centered.

Her background includes practice in both California and Maryland and experience across medical settings and grief and end-of-life care. Growing up overseas gives her awareness of cultural factors that can affect mental health and adjustment. She has worked with immigration-related concerns and caregiver stress as part of that background.

Talya draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she may use mindfulness exercises, thought-challenging, values clarification, and short-term problem solving to address specific symptoms or situations.

She aims to help people access their own strengths and build workable strategies for parenting, coping with loss, and managing anxiety or chronic stress. The first sessions typically clarify goals and practical next steps. If you want to start, follow the site's steps to match and schedule your first session.
