About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Libby) Maple is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing family stress and parenting challenges. She brings ten years of professional experience and a down-to-earth approach to conversations about mental health and life strain. She listens for the story beneath the symptoms and helps people name what feels hardest.
Libby works with concerns that include family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and substance use. She also supports people coping with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
Background and approach
In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their life and builds goals together. Discussions often cover how past events shape current reactions, practical ways to respond to strong emotions, and small changes that improve daily routines. Parents can expect help with managing stressful moments, navigating blended family issues, and addressing attachment or adoption-related worries.
Libby has experience with a wide range of related challenges, including grief, eating issues, anger, ADHD symptoms, and fertility or pregnancy concerns. Her work also touches on co-occurring substance use, codependency, and family of origin problems. The focus is on clear, usable steps rather than long explanations.
She practices in Colorado as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - and offers therapy in English. Conversations are practical, collaborative, and paced to each person’s needs. If someone prefers online formats, she provides video, phone, live chat, and text messaging options.

Approaches that fit parenting and family challenges
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding how history affects current behavior. One commonly used approach helps people identify patterns that come from past relationships and attachment experiences, then practices new ways of responding in family or parenting situations. This can be useful for adoption, attachment issues, blended family concerns, and parenting stress.Another approach centers on mood and regulation skills to manage intense emotions and impulsivity. It introduces clear strategies for coping with depressive or bipolar symptoms, anger, and moments of high stress so daily functioning improves and relationships feel steadier.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing conversation between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and apply what’s discussed in real time.
