About Liza

Liza White is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Liza also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Liza combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Conversations focus on specific steps people can try between visits.

Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical work supporting people through loss, addiction recovery, and trauma reactions. She draws on motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. Narrative approaches are used when reframing personal stories helps reduce shame or blame.

In the room she prioritizes straightforward feedback and collaborative problem solving. People can expect goal-focused plans, practical coping skills, and short exercises to practice outside sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so goals can shift as needed.

Liza works in Florida and provides services in English. Before a first session she asks people to consider what they most want to change and what has helped in the past.

How Liza uses practical approaches in online sessions

Online work with Liza can include structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and test thoughts that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on clear tasks, brief experiments, and homework that can be practiced between meetings.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and making space for what matters most to the person. That approach helps people set their own goals and choose which skills to try. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when people need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. Liza collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts tools as therapy moves forward.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework so sessions fit everyday routines rather than requiring large blocks of time.
