About Elizaveta
Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people regain balance in their lives. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, addiction, sleep problems, grief, and low self-esteem. Liza speaks English and Russian and draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide conversations toward clearer day-to-day coping.
She earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014 and has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings. That work included supporting older adults in inpatient care, providing outpatient therapy to individuals and families, and treating people with substance use concerns in inpatient programs. Liza has also worked with people living with severe mental illness, offering steady, solution-focused support.
Her approach blends client-centered care with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods. Sessions emphasize identifying small, doable changes - such as sleep routines, thought patterns, and coping skills - and practicing them between meetings. She also incorporates trauma-focused ideas when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Liza aims to help clients rediscover meaning and purpose when life feels chaotic or stalled. She encourages short-term goals and measurable steps so progress is clear. People often work on improving sleep, managing cravings, easing anxiety, or rebuilding daily structure.
Sessions are offered in English and Russian, and she can work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How Liza’s approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set practical steps they can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and teaches concrete tools for changing unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day regulation, which can help with stress and sleep.Finding the right combination of methods is a shared process. Liza will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may try short experiments and adjust the plan based on what helps most in daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to arrange. It also makes it possible to continue regular work on sleep routines, coping skills, and behavior changes from wherever you are while coordinating with the therapist on a plan that suits your daily life.
