Liza Howe
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for over twenty years. I have experience in a variety of settings and with a variety of clients.
I have worked with a variety of people in different ages and stages of their lives and it has helped me develop a perspective and given me the experience to offer choices on how to move forward in therapy.
Many of the people with whom I have worked are struggling with some kind of change, whether it's children growing up, seeking abstinence from a drug or coping with divorce or our own aging process. All these changes can impact our mood and I can help a person cope with the resultant depression or anxiety for instance.
First session
In our first session, we will do introductions which might include some background. This would be followed by a fuller exploration of what brings you to therapy including what is causing distress, what your goals are moving forward and might also include what you have already tried.
Strengths
I have worked with a variety of people in different ages and stages of their lives and it has helped me develop a perspective and given me the experience to offer choices on how to move forward in therapy.
Ideal clients
I love to help people with navigating the many changes that life throws at us. I find that it can be paralyzing when a change occurs and it helps to talk about it to figure out what is the next move.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I find the use of CBT helpful to build awareness and coping skills for present situations.
Positive Psychology
The power of positive thinking has been found to aid in coping with life by research, in my experience as a clinician and personally.
Motivational Interviewing
I have had extensive training in Motivational interviewing due to my experience in substance abuse treatment early in my career. I have found that it is now a part of what I do naturally.
