About Liza

Liza White is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, depression, and other life transitions. She emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which clients’ thoughts and feelings are explored openly and respectfully.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience and licensure as an LMHC in Florida, she draws on practical strategies to support clients working through intense emotions and challenging situations. Her work combines evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s goals and values.

Liza also integrates elements from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions that fit individual needs. She frames change as a process that requires courage and steady support, and she aims to empower clients as they take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to set goals and guide what matters most in their lives. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense mood swings or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the best approach often unfolds together; the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically involve exploring what’s most important to the client and experimenting with techniques to find a comfortable and effective fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and on varied schedules. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and continue care even when life is busy, while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship across formats.
