About
Talya Van den Berg, LCSW, MD, LCSW-C, is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults and families through stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and major life transitions. She has worked in both California and Maryland across a range of settings, including schools, medical and hospital environments, and grief and end-of-life care, which informs a grounded and practical perspective on emotional health.
Having grown up overseas, Talya brings a strong awareness of culture and the ways cultural context can shape mental health, identity, and adjustment. She has helped clients navigate grief and loss, relocation and immigration-related stress, caregiving strain, and the many changes that can come with becoming a parent, with particular attention to the needs of new mothers. She also works with anxious patterns and the unhelpful thinking loops that often accompany anxiety.
Her style is warm and supportive, with an emphasis on building a steady therapeutic alliance where clients can recognize strengths, clarify what matters most, and move toward workable solutions. Drawing from humanistic and client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, Talya aims to help clients access their own resilience and create meaningful steps forward, even when reaching out for support feels intimidating.

Practical, Evidence-Informed Therapy Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful when anxiety, grief, or major life changes feel consuming, and a person wants to move forward without waiting for everything to feel “fixed.”Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then practicing new ways to respond. It is often used to work with anxiety and distorted thinking by building skills that support clearer perspective and steadier coping.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment with less judgment, which can support stress management and emotional balance when life feels fast, overwhelming, or uncertain. Talya Van den Berg integrates these approaches in a warm, client-centered way that emphasizes strengths and practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Talya collaborates with clients to shape therapy around their goals, preferences, and current challenges, adjusting the pace and tools as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make support more accessible and flexible. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times of transition.
