About Eliza
Eliza Adams is a licensed counselor with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. She is licensed as an LCPC in Illinois and an LPC in Alabama. Her work also includes supporting people with self-esteem, motivation, and adjusting to major life changes.
She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to slow things down so issues feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Eliza encourages practical steps clients can try between meetings to build momentum toward their goals. Her background spans nearly two decades of clinical work across settings that addressed mood concerns and substance use. That experience informs how she helps people facing chronic pain, co-occurring problems, codependency, and family of origin issues.
She also brings experience supporting those who feel isolated, empty, or unsure about life purpose. Eliza tends to use straightforward, evidence-based approaches that focus on real-life change. She works with people to strengthen coping skills, reduce impulsivity, and repair communication patterns that cause conflict.
Forgiveness, guilt, and shame are addressed with steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes. People who choose her often want a calm listener who offers clear structure and small, achievable goals. Eliza supports each person at their own pace and helps them build routines that fit daily life.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Eliza uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity scheduling, and breaking problems into manageable steps. These techniques are helpful for day-to-day panic, worry, and overwhelm.Another approach emphasizes behavioral change for mood and addiction concerns. This work looks at patterns that keep problems going, and then builds small routine changes and relapse-prevention strategies that fit a person's life. It can be useful for substance use, impulsivity, and low motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eliza collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn't.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, notes between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine and to keep steady contact as goals evolve.
