Liza White, LMHC

Liza White is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and empathetic, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.

She focuses on practical skills and clear conversations. Sessions center on identifying patterns that cause distress and testing small changes to see what works. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting.

Liza also draws on client-centered methods, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s pace and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and mindfulness practices are available to help manage intense emotions and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change.

Her background includes work helping people cope with trauma and abuse, family and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and anger or self-esteem struggles. She has supported individuals facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and the stress of separation or divorce.

Sessions are offered from Florida and conducted in English. Liza aims to make the first steps manageable, offering clear options and a calm, nonjudgmental setting for talking through problems and trying new coping strategies.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Many of her methods can be used effectively through remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments; online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and between-session tasks to track progress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving clients space to tell their story and set the pace for change during video or phone conversations.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are taught in short, practical steps that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over chat or messaging to build consistency. Together, these approaches help with anxiety, mood struggles, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes by combining problem-solving with emotional support.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit the client’s needs. Sessions can shift over time as goals evolve and skills build.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, skill reminders, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice new skills where they matter most.
