About Talya
Talya Van den Berg is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, life changes, and concerns such as ADHD, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, compassion fatigue, career questions, and issues connected to LGBT identity and gender dysphoria. Talya practices in Maryland and brings three years of clinical experience.
She leans on straightforward talk, active listening, and practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on identifying strengths, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Her approach blends client-centered ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means sessions often start with the client’s immediate priorities and move to short, concrete strategies to reduce distress.
Talya also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. She has worked in medical settings and grief and end-of-life care, and she is familiar with immigration-related stresses and caregiver strain. That experience informs a practical, compassionate style aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing coping skills.
Talya offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. International clients who speak English may work with her. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the listed process.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that align with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It often involves practical exercises and short experiments that clients can practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help stress, depression, and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps you most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexible options for different days and energy levels. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a lunchtime check-in. Live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
