Liza is a fantastic counsellor, I highly recommend working with her. It’s an investment in yourself which will pay off! I started having sessions with her to help me deal with the grief of miscarriages, PMDD and general plans for the future regarding my health and fertility. I have learned so much about how I process my challenges and have become much more at peace with my lot in life. I have practiced healthier ways of dealing with trauma and tragedy and feel more prepared to handle things on my own. Liza is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, kind, non judgemental and empathetic. She offers insight alongside practical suggestions for how to come to terms with situations, and make the best of your circumstances. I’m so happy that I got paired with her and it really was extremely helpful.

Liza has been the best counsellor I have worked with on Betterhelp. She has a great model for online sessions and is a very caring and genuine person. She often clarifies what you are saying so you know you are clearly understood and responds in a timely manner to any messages. She has been wonderful to work with and I have seen sustained progress from our interactions.

More about Elizaveta

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida experienced in providing guidance, mental health, and substance abuse counseling for my clients. Since 2014, I have worked with individuals struggling with various problems with addictions, depression, anxiety, traumatic events, loss of purpose, and relationship issues.

I received my Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts in 2009 and my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014. I gained my experience working with elderly individuals in inpatient settings, providing therapy services to families and individuals in an outpatient setting, as well as working with clients, struggling with addictions in an inpatient setting. In addition, I have worked with patients severely mentally ill by providing a safe place to share their world and seek solutions to their challenging life circumstances. I am trained in evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with MBSR techniques. I am fluent in English and Russian languages.

Our everyday lives are filled with events that we have no control over. Some go about their lives embracing this chaos, but for others this task may seem challenging and unattainable. I believe that with proper guidance one can accept life as spontaneous chain of events and feel comfortable throughout the process of change. I do believe that without a sense of purpose life loses its meaning, therefore in my sessions I stress the importance of finding and redefining one's purpose.

I offer a range of therapeutic services, all designed to help you find your way back into a peaceful and satisfying life. Whether you're looking for a change or just feel the need to talk to somebody, I am here for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
