About Liz
Liz Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of practice. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and aims to listen without judgment. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, substance use, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.
In sessions she favors a client-centered stance. That means the client’s goals guide the work. She blends practical skills with focused processing so people can make decisions that suit their lives. She uses straightforward techniques rather than jargon, and she encourages small, workable changes.
Her background includes work with substance use and trauma-related concerns over a decade of clinical practice. She also brings experience supporting people managing grief, career stress, chronic health challenges, eating issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms. That experience shapes how she plans short-term goals and longer-term work.
Therapeutic tools she commonly draws on include cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, dialectical behavior methods for emotional regulation, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. She also uses mindfulness and client-centered approaches to help people stay grounded and notice what matters most.
Sessions aim to feel practical and respectful. Liz helps people build skills, process difficult memories, or map steps toward better sleep and daily routine. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's needs and goals, with the therapist listening and reflecting so people can steer the process. This approach helps when someone wants a collaborative space to sort priorities or try different solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and coping with intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made as therapy proceeds, mixing skill-building with deeper processing when needed.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also allows focus on practical exercises, sleep routines, and brief check-ins that fit around work or caregiving schedules.
