About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Libby) Maple is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by family conflict, grief, mood shifts, or struggles with substance use. Libby makes space for hard stories and helps people take the first steps toward feeling steadier.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. She listens for how your past affects your day-to-day and helps you notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on practical steps you can try between sessions and on building skills to manage mood, stress, and impulse control.

Libby has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also offers support around adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Her work includes addressing complicated grief, fertility-related stress, and pregnancy or childbirth transitions.

Sessions commonly address both emotional symptoms and life stresses. That can look like learning grounding tools, planning for safer choices around substances, or talking through family dynamics and boundaries. The goal is clearer thinking and better daily coping, not labels or quick fixes.

People who choose Libby often want a steady, practical ally rather than a lecture. She emphasizes listening first, and then working together on steps that fit your life. If you want help sorting a painful history or navigating a current crisis, she aims to meet you there.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom management. One common approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety, mood swings, and stress; it teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach looks at attachment and relationships, helping people notice patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what's working and adjust methods over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.

For online therapy with this clinician, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins when needed or use quieter, low-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The focus remains on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady support that can be sustained between sessions.
