About Liza
Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so worried parents can get clear steps they can use right away. Liza speaks in plain terms and aims to make the first conversations easy to follow.
She uses a calm, client-centered style that starts by listening to what matters most to each person. From there she brings in strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added as helpful tools when people want to build new habits. Over twelve years of practice have included work with people coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Liza also helps with relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC and draws on that breadth of experience when planning treatment. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Liza helps clients set realistic short-term goals and checks progress each week.
When a particular technique doesn't fit, she tries another until the person feels it's useful. Her aim is to support and empower people taking the often-difficult step toward change. Liza encourages practical coping skills alongside small, steady steps toward better daily functioning.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It centers the conversation on what the client brings and helps shape goals that feel meaningful and realistic. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication - it can be useful when strong emotions make daily routines hard to maintain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Liza will work together with clients to identify which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans when something is not working. The focus is on practical tools and small steps that show measurable progress over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving people options that fit their schedules. Video is useful for full conversations and skill coaching, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick updates or ongoing accountability. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
