Background and approach
Liz keeps things practical and solution-minded when that fits the client's goals. Liz uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
For trauma-related concerns she incorporates EMDR and mindfulness practices when appropriate. Her background includes work with substance use and LGBTQ concerns alongside trauma care. She combines experience with shorter-term coaching approaches when clients want skills they can use right away.
Conversations are held in English or Spanish to match the client's comfort. Liz practices from Florida and has ten years in the field. She emphasizes clear steps, homework when useful, and regular check-ins so people can see what is helping.
Many clients come for help with life transitions, mood disorders, chronic stress, and the focus and organization challenges that often come with ADHD.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals, giving people space to decide what matters and how to move forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical skills for mood and behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, and may combine approaches over time to match changing goals and needs. That way the plan is built around the client's preferences and what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or coaching into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent even with work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
