About Liz
Liz Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people regain confidence and steadiness. She supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, self esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma. She speaks both English and Spanish and brings ten years of clinical work to sessions in Florida.
Her basic stance is client-centered. She listens first and helps people choose their next steps rather than prescribing solutions. In sessions she uses clear, practical tools and pays attention to what a person needs right now. That approach can feel straightforward and respectful for people dealing with shame, codependency, or body image issues.
Liz blends several methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also works with mindfulness practices to help people stay present during difficult feelings.
For people with trauma histories she offers supportive interventions that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She has experience helping with addiction, eating and sleep issues, anger, ADHD, and complex concerns like abandonment or attachment wounds. Her background includes a focus on LGBTQ issues and helping those coping with chronic illness and disability.
Sessions are framed as collaborative work. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical skill-building, and an emphasis on strengthening self esteem and coping. Before beginning, confirm current session options and scheduling details when you book.
