About Eliza
Eliza Adams is a licensed counselor with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps to cope with life changes and build motivation and confidence. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at making the first steps easier for someone who feels stuck.
She creates an open space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, useful changes that can improve day-to-day life. Sessions typically include problem-solving, coping strategies, and attention to how relationships and family of origin issues affect mood and choices. Eliza brings experience working with chronic pain, illness, disability, and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.
She also addresses codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. When addiction is involved, she helps people examine patterns and build practical steps toward healthier routines. Her background as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, supports a range of common life struggles.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions while tailoring work to each person's goals. The tone is collaborative, respectful, and solution-focused. People who choose to work with her can expect focused conversations about life purpose, forgiveness, guilt, and self-worth.
She helps clients plan manageable actions and track progress over time. The aim is steady improvement rather than quick fixes.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Eliza uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she applies emphasizes practical behavior changes and routines to reduce anxiety and manage cravings; this helps when people need concrete steps and structure. Another approach centers on exploring thoughts and emotions that drive low self-esteem and depression, helping clients reframe negative beliefs and try new, healthier ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then tailor methods to each person's situation. This collaborative process lets the therapist and client test what works and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and building rapport. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Chat and text let people check in between sessions, share short updates, or have a brief check-in when a full session is impractical. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
