My Approach to Helping
Hello, my name is Liza White, and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I provide therapy services that empower individuals to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to help clients navigate their unique journeys toward healing and well-being.
In my therapy practice, I adopt an integrative approach, drawing from various theoretical orientations based on the unique needs and goals of each client. I believe that every individual is different, and therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective. Some of the common theoretical approaches I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness in fostering self-growth; and Psychodynamic Therapy, which explores unconscious patterns and past experiences to gain insight into present difficulties. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help clients develop greater self-awareness and cultivate a sense of presence in the present moment. I also integrate techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify their strengths and create actionable steps toward achieving their goals. By combining these approaches, I aim to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
