About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Libby) Maple is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 10 years of professional experience. She welcomes people who are carrying heavy concerns and offers straightforward, practical help. Libby emphasizes listening first and asking what matters most to each person she meets.
Libby helps people work through family conflict, trauma and abuse, substance use, and parenting challenges. She also supports people managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, as well as ADHD and related struggles with attention and impulsivity.
Background and approach
She treats grief, relationship strain, anger, and problems with self-esteem in simple, clear language. Her approach starts by hearing a person’s story and identifying small, useful changes. Sessions include talking through what has happened, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying practical strategies to make day-to-day life easier.
She centers the client’s goals and priorities rather than pushing a fixed agenda. Libby draws on a decade of varied clinical work to tailor support to each situation. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family dynamics when these are part of someone’s story.
She also has experience with co-occurring problems like substance use and mood instability. People who want clear, compassionate help with real-life problems often find her style accessible. Her sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely to people located in Colorado.
She invites those ready to start to take the first step and share what matters most to them.
Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
Some of the methods she uses focus on clear, behavior-based changes. One approach emphasizes identifying everyday routines and small adjustments that reduce stress and improve focus; this helps when impulsivity, ADHD challenges, or mood shifts make daily life harder. Another approach centers on processing past hurt and building healthier patterns in relationships by tracking triggers and practicing new responses; this is useful for trauma, attachment concerns, and family problems.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That collaborative process includes trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face work when that helps, phone sessions save bandwidth and can be easier on low-technology days, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share short updates between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle a shorter daily check-in, or use a format that feels easiest in the moment.
