About Liza

Liza White is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, anger, parenting strains, intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on issues like attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and relationship communication problems.

Her approach is straightforward and conversation-based. She listens first and works with each person to identify practical steps. Sessions use clear strategies to reduce distress and build better coping skills. Treatment mixes talking through patterns with exercises people can try between sessions.

Liza draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for honest conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Mindfulness techniques are used to manage strong emotions and rebuild calm. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.

She aims to help people handle anger that comes up around work, home, or relationships. That might mean learning ways to recognize early warning signs, practice breathing and grounding skills, and test different responses in low-risk situations. Liza also supports people coping with life changes, grief, and the aftermath of trauma.

Her work is pragmatic and paced to the person. She focuses on what people can do between sessions as much as what they talk about in session. Liza holds an LMHC credential and practices in Florida.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps a person clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings about anger, loss, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts about situations that trigger anger and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for tolerating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing outbursts and reducing conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and situation. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is observed.

Confirm current session options before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for a session. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so practical skills are still practiced between meetings.
