About Liza

Liza White is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. Her style emphasizes a nonjudgmental, supportive space where someone can speak openly and start making changes at their own pace.

She guides clients through practical steps to handle everyday problems. That can mean working on coping skills for strong emotions, planning for recovery from addictive patterns, or sorting through grief after a loss. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, usable changes rather than overwhelming theory.

Over 12 years of work in behavioral health have given her a wide clinical background. She has helped people facing mood challenges such as depression and bipolar situations, as well as those dealing with ADHD, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Adoption and foster care appear among her additional focus areas when relevant to a person's story.

Liza uses approaches that center the client and build concrete skills. She draws on client-centered methods to understand each person, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and elements of mindfulness and dialectical skills for emotion regulation.

Her sessions are meant to feel collaborative. She encourages clients to set clear goals and tracks progress in simple, practical ways. The aim is to create steady, manageable change that fits into everyday life.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person speaking and following their lead in session. It helps when someone needs a listening space and guidance that fits their pace rather than a fixed agenda.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Those tools can be useful when intense feelings or impulsive reactions are getting in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT skill-building, DBT strategies, or a mix of approaches.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online and in-person options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or let people check in between other responsibilities. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are not possible, so clarifying options up front helps match therapy to daily life.
