About Liz

Liz Smith is a client-centered therapist who places the person's experience at the center of care, offering nonjudgmental support and respect while helping clients make their own decisions. With 10 years of clinical experience, she has developed a focus on substance use, trauma, LGBTQ issues, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and addictions. Her style balances careful listening with practical, solution-oriented work when appropriate, and she blends evidence-informed methods to suit each individual.

Liz uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting therapeutic space, EMDR to address traumatic memories, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people manage intense emotions and improve communication. She works with clients on challenges such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, eating and body-image issues, chronic illness, and career or life transitions. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she is able to offer counseling in either language.

Liz holds professional counseling credentials as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she provides services through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Liz integrates Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect, helping clients explore values and choices and build self-directed solutions. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories through structured, bilateral stimulation combined with guided recall - an approach commonly used to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is useful for people struggling with intense emotions or recurring relationship challenges.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Liz works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the treatment aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Delivering these approaches online - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offers flexibility for busy schedules, for those who travel frequently, or for people who prefer remote care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of treatment and to make therapy more accessible across different circumstances.
