About Lia
Lia approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs of the individual. She works collaboratively to identify goals and practical steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Taking the first step toward change can be challenging, and Lia provides steady support and guidance through that process.
Clients seeking help with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin concerns, gender dysphoria, substance use, or feelings of isolation will find a clinician experienced in both supportive and skills-based strategies. Lia’s practice emphasizes tailored care that meets clients where they are and helps them move forward at a pace that feels right for them.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who are processing life changes, identity questions, or relationship challenges by emphasizing understanding and collaboration.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT can be helpful for managing patterns like anger, impulsivity, and problems related to anxiety or low mood by teaching concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and actions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is often useful for clients who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and communication can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
