About Liza

Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and self esteem struggles. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She emphasizes support and encouragement during change. Liza creates a space where clients can talk openly about hard feelings. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears so goals become clearer. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps rather than overwhelming the person all at once. Her work draws on several familiar methods, including client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage emotions in the moment. Motivational interviewing techniques help when clients feel stuck about making changes. With 12 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Liza has supported people through trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and life transitions. She also has experience with ADHD, bipolar challenges, and a variety of attachment and family-related issues. People who reach out often want to feel steadier, handle strong emotions better, or rebuild confidence after loss or difficult experiences. The therapist and client work together to set goals, try new strategies, and track small wins over time.

How Liza’s approaches translate to online work

Liza uses client-centered listening to create a respectful space where people can state what they most want to address. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s goals and values and shaping sessions around them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to manage intense emotions and improve distress tolerance when feelings run high. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Liza will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helping and what is not. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the therapist's profile does not specify them. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit into a workday, be shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and revisit notes from previous meetings while still focusing on real-life problems.
