Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Liza directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Online sessions often use Narrative Therapy to help people retell their experience and separate themselves from problem stories. This approach can make feelings like shame or blame feel less overwhelming by focusing on alternative meanings and strengths.Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach and centers on listening with warmth and respect. It helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. The aim is to find what works in the client's daily life rather than sticking to a single method.
Online work offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat let people check in between sessions or do short, focused work without a full appointment. These options help therapy fit around work, family, or travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
