About Liza

Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her approach is straightforward and supportive for people who want clearer thinking and steadier emotion.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels right. Liza encourages practical steps that can be used between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build momentum.

With 12 years of experience, she draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide work in the room. That includes client-centered work that centers the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts, and skills-based strategies to manage intense emotions. She also uses mindfulness and motivational techniques when they fit a client’s goals.

Liza has experience supporting people with relationship challenges, parenting stress, attention differences, and difficult life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. Her practice includes help for those coping with anger, intimacy issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

People who choose Liza typically want practical guidance and a steady, compassionate presence while they make changes. If you want clear steps and a therapist who listens first, she aims to offer that support.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and preferences, focusing first on listening and understanding what matters most. This helps with issues like grief, relationship stress, and life change by keeping goals grounded in the client's values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques for shifting unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change like coping with addiction triggers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It offers practical tools for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Liza works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses. Clients and therapist review what helps and refine the strategy together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work can make consistent progress more practical while still allowing focused, skills-based therapy.
