Liza is a fantastic counsellor, I highly recommend working with her. It’s an investment in yourself which will pay off! I started having sessions with her to help me deal with the grief of miscarriages, PMDD and general plans for the future regarding my health and fertility. I have learned so much about how I process my challenges and have become much more at peace with my lot in life. I have practiced healthier ways of dealing with trauma and tragedy and feel more prepared to handle things on my own. Liza is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, kind, non judgemental and empathetic. She offers insight alongside practical suggestions for how to come to terms with situations, and make the best of your circumstances. I’m so happy that I got paired with her and it really was extremely helpful.

More about Elizaveta

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida experienced in providing guidance, mental health, and substance abuse counseling for my clients. Since 2014, I have worked with individuals struggling with various problems with addictions, depression, anxiety, traumatic events, loss of purpose, and relationship issues.

I received my Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts in 2009 and my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014. I gained my experience working with elderly individuals in inpatient settings, providing therapy services to families and individuals in an outpatient setting, as well as working with clients, struggling with addictions in an inpatient setting. In addition, I have worked with patients severely mentally ill by providing a safe place to share their world and seek solutions to their challenging life circumstances. I am trained in evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with MBSR techniques. I am fluent in English and Russian languages.

Our everyday lives are filled with events that we have no control over. Some go about their lives embracing this chaos, but for others this task may seem challenging and unattainable. I believe that with proper guidance one can accept life as spontaneous chain of events and feel comfortable throughout the process of change. I do believe that without a sense of purpose life loses its meaning, therefore in my sessions I stress the importance of finding and redefining one's purpose.

I offer a range of therapeutic services, all designed to help you find your way back into a peaceful and satisfying life. Whether you're looking for a change or just feel the need to talk to somebody, I am here for you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
