Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone is ready to change patterns like substance use or other repeating behaviors. Together these approaches give a mix of listening, skill-building, and gentle challenge. She pays attention to relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, and complicated feelings that arise after loss or major life changes.

The focus is on gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

How Liza’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Liza uses client-centered therapy to prioritize listening and reflection so clients feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on what the person cares about and lets goals emerge from their own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete steps and practice are needed. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Liza will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors the mix of listening, skills practice, and motivation work so the plan fits the client's life and expectations. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients practice skills in real-life routines and bring real situations into the conversation for problem solving.
