Background and approach
She also assists those navigating attachment concerns, communication problems, hoarding, and guilt or shame tied to difficult events. Her sessions are conversational and tailored to the person in front of her. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to create listening-first conversations.
Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels stalled and a focused plan helps. Solution-Focused Therapy offers brief, goal-oriented steps when people want concrete progress. Liza has licensure listed for Minnesota and Virginia as LPC and LPCC and maintains a practice based in Minnesota.
She offers evening and weekend times when possible to help fit therapy into busy schedules. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session that fits their timing.
Liza aims to work together on clear, manageable steps so people can feel steadier and more in control between sessions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can notice what matters most to them; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady listener to sort feelings. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to nudge change without pressure; it helps when someone feels stuck and wants clearer reasons to move forward. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps and quick experiments to build confidence and momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, motivation, or short-term solutions, and they adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and needs. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat allow brief check-ins or ongoing touchpoints between longer meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family life and to keep momentum between appointments.
