About Liza
Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and trauma. She offers calm, nonjudgmental support and practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings. Liza speaks plainly and focuses on small steps that add up to real change.
She creates a space where people can say what’s on their mind and be heard. Sessions are collaborative - the person sets goals and Liza helps map out ways to reach them.
Background and approach
The work often includes learning skills to cope with strong emotions and to handle day-to-day challenges more easily. With 12 years of experience, Liza draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions. Liza also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice what’s happening inside.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone wants to build motivation for change. These methods are mixed in ways that fit each person’s situation and goals. She practices in Florida and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC.
Sessions are offered in English and can take different formats to suit schedules and needs. For many people, the combination of clear skills and steady support feels useful when life feels hard.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the client’s goals and thoughts, so the therapist reflects and asks questions that help clarify priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work this often means homework between sessions, tracking patterns in a journal or app, and reviewing progress together during video or phone calls. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. These skills can be practiced and reviewed during sessions and reinforced through text or live chat check-ins when needed.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, comfort level, and daily routine. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, frequent check-ins and can help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
