About Liz

Liz Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) working in Florida. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, struggling with addiction, or dealing with trauma and abuse. She also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy problems, body image and eating concerns, sleep difficulties, mood symptoms, and life transitions.

She draws on a client-centered way of working that puts the person's goals first.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Liz listens without judgment and helps people decide what feels right for them rather than giving directives. Liz integrates several approaches to meet real needs.

She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and cognitive-behavioral strategies when helpful. Mindfulness practices and here-and-now techniques from Gestalt work may appear in sessions to support emotional regulation and awareness. Her practice blends short-term problem solving with deeper processing when needed.

That might mean focusing on coping skills for sudden stress or using EMDR-informed methods for processing past trauma. The pace is shaped by each person's comfort and goals. Liz brings about ten years of clinical experience and offers services in English and Spanish.

She provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How EMDR, DBT, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals and experience first. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps set clear, practical goals the client can test between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions DBT skills are taught, practiced, and coached so clients can use them during stressful moments. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is used to process past memories that continue to cause distress. When EMDR techniques are used online, the therapist guides the client step by step and adapts pacing to the client's comfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support, quick skill coaching, and check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to continue care around work, family, and life commitments.
