About Elizaveta
Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Russian and draws on nine years of practice to guide people through hard changes.
Her work focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. She uses client-centered methods to listen first and follow the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are part of her approach when helpful for changing unhelpful thoughts and building steadier routines.
Liza has experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, including work with older adults and people in recovery from substance use. She has also supported people with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
She pays attention to purpose and meaning, helping people reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions can include skill practice, thought work, and mindfulness exercises to manage symptoms and everyday stressors. She also addresses concerns like sleep, eating issues, body image, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
To begin, Liza asks about the current problem and goals, then chooses approaches that fit each person. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more manageable ways to cope with life changes.
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens, asks about what matters most, and shapes sessions around those aims to make small, practical changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses clear, structured techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits by changing thinking patterns and building new routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting right away. It can help with stress, sleep issues, emotional ups and downs, and managing cravings related to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and offering more flexible scheduling. Practical benefits include quicker check-ins, easier follow-up between sessions, and the ability to practice skills in daily settings.
