About Liz

Liz Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with sleep and eating. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Her style is client-centered.

She listens first and helps people make their own choices. She offers straightforward, practical guidance when clients want it and stays with feelings when clients need to process them.

Background and approach

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to address unhelpful thoughts and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work when it fits the goal. Liz commonly helps with concerns such as addiction, LGBTQ issues, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness and co-occurring conditions.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in making their own decisions rather than following directives from the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating routines.

The right approach is often discovered together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, DBT skills, EMDR, or mindfulness work best for a particular concern.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or day-to-day life while working with licensed professionals.
