About Liz
Liz Smith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on each person’s needs and listens without judgment. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, substance use concerns, and identity-related issues. Sessions are practical and focused on the client’s goals.
Clients describe straightforward work that blends present-moment exploration with concrete skills. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift patterns that worsen mood and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
EMDR is included for people processing trauma and painful memories, offered as part of a longer treatment plan when appropriate. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help manage racing thoughts and improve sleep. The focus is on small changes that fit everyday life, not on quick fixes.
Her training and work over the last decade include substance use and LGBTQ concerns among many other focus areas. She provides services in Florida and works in English and Spanish. Her background aims to make therapy approachable for people coming from different places.
Therapy begins with a short intake to identify current problems and priorities. From there, treatment is shaped collaboratively so sessions stay aligned with the person’s goals and pace.
