About Liza
Liza White is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. She also helps people dealing with parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Liza listens first and then helps people name what is most pressing. She uses clear methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and moment-to-moment coping rather than lengthy theory talks.
In sessions she encourages honest conversation about feelings and behavior. That can mean looking at thought patterns that increase worry, practicing skills to manage strong emotions, or identifying small changes that make daily life easier. She also supports people sorting through grief, loss, and the disruption that follows major life events.
Liza has additional experience with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and communication and commitment difficulties. She has worked with people facing blended family stress, divorce and separation, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people set clear short-term goals and check progress between sessions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a constructive working relationship. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on what the person wants to address and adjust pacing based on immediate feedback. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress; online CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and practical tools to test new ways of thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with online sessions usually teaching and practicing specific skills for use between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person's goals and day-to-day reality. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and checking in regularly about what is helping.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and less travel time, which can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week. Some formats use shorter check-ins or less video time to accommodate work breaks or limited bandwidth. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and how they can fit into your routine.
