About Liza
Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and struggles with addiction. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her style is open and supportive, with an emphasis on honest conversation and practical next steps.
She creates a space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on identifying what matters most to the client and building small, realistic changes. Liza emphasizes collaboration so people leave with clear ideas to try between sessions.
Her background includes twelve years of professional experience working with trauma, abuse, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.
Liza draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She often uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when they fit client goals.
She holds the LMHC credential and practices in Florida. People who want to explore issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, codependency, or communication and commitment problems can find practical strategies and steady support in sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps clarify goals, and supports the client's own solutions. This approach fits concerns like grief, relationship questions, and stress by prioritizing what the client wants to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into steps and uses practical exercises people can try between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It teaches grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal strategies that can reduce conflict and impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals and preferences. That means trying a strategy, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one method up front.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and scheduling so appointments can align with work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
