About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Libby) Maple is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Colorado. She has 10 years of professional experience and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside trauma, mood disorders, and substance use. Libby meets people where they are and treats them as the expert in their own story.
Her style is straightforward and supportive for people facing hard moments and decisions. She offers help for a wide range of issues, including bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, eating concerns, and stress.
Background and approach
Family problems, parenting challenges, attachment and adoption matters, and blended family dynamics are also within her scope. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, impulse control, and co-occurring conditions. Libby believes history shapes current struggles and that working through past and present issues matters.
Sessions focus on talking through what’s happening now, understanding patterns, and finding practical ways to cope. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps rather than jargon. As a Colorado LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she draws on a decade of experience across settings.
The work aims to reduce immediate distress and build clearer ways forward. Libby supports clients navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, fertility stress, and recovery from trauma and abuse. This approach is suited to people seeking an empathic, experience-grounded therapist who offers direct conversation and practical coping strategies.
She conducts sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving specific problems and easing distress. One common method focuses on understanding how past events affect current reactions and relationships; this helps people identify patterns and choose different responses. Another technique targets mood and behavior by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving steps to manage anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and substance-related challenges.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home, balance appointments with family needs, and check in between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide ongoing support and practical guidance without requiring travel.
