Background and approach

For people with trauma, she incorporates EMDR-informed ideas when appropriate. Liz has about 10 years of clinical experience. Her training and languages let her support people from diverse backgrounds who prefer sessions in English or Spanish.
She has worked with substance use concerns and with LGBT-related issues among other focus areas. Typical sessions can include short-term coaching-style work or longer therapy to track deeper patterns. People describe practical strategies they can use between sessions.
She aims to help each person feel clearer about choices and coping steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging according to the chosen format.

04Online support
Approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the persons experience. A therapist listens without judgment and helps set goals that match the person's values and needs. This approach can help people who feel stuck or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions teach simple, practical skills to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tools that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term coaching, skill-building, or deeper trauma work and adjust as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging lets people send notes over time. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
