Remote care options and therapeutic approach
Liza offers online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. These formats allow her to maintain a collaborative rhythm with people who prefer face-to-face video or those who find phone or messaging more accessible for ongoing check-ins.
She often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person’s perspective so that goals emerge from their priorities. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing a change; it helps explore ambivalence and strengthens a person’s own reasons for moving forward. Solution-focused techniques are applied to identify practical steps and build on existing strengths, keeping sessions goal-oriented and pragmatic.
People who want an interactive, goal-aware process and a therapist who will tailor conversation and plans to individual needs may find this combination fitting. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and Liza works with each person to determine the best mix for their goals.
