About Liza
Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through hard things without judgment. Liza aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable rather than daunting.
In sessions she creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings are named and understood. She uses straightforward techniques to help reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and paced to match what each person can handle at the time. Liza brings 12 years of experience working with issues that include depression, parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and ADHD. She also addresses attachment and communication problems, blended family dynamics, and grief after loss.
Her practice includes attention to addictions and trauma recovery using practical strategies. Her training as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - informs a flexible approach. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
These methods are used in plain language and adapted to everyday life demands. Liza practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. She prioritizes clear steps and small goals so progress feels tangible.
People who want steady support during a difficult season often find her style direct, calm, and encouraging.
How Liza’s approaches work online
Liza commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s unique experience, helping them feel heard and making it easier to talk about difficult topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt techniques over time. Decisions about methods are collaborative so the plan fits the client’s life and what they want to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and check in between live conversations. The range of formats also allows techniques like skill coaching, brief problem-solving, and guided practices to be delivered in ways that suit the client’s routine.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
