Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 12 insurances. Specializes in Chronic Illness, Depression, Trauma and PTSD
Hello, and welcome! My name is Christy Liger, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic services. I believe that seeking support is a courageous step, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including medical social work and programs serving veterans and individuals experiencing homelessness. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support people from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and life backgrounds who are navigating challenges such as chronic and terminal illnesses, trauma, caregiver stress, mental health concerns, and major life transitions. They have strengthened my ability to meet each client where they are, provide compassionate, individualized care, and recognize that every person's journey is unique. I have experience working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, chronic and terminal illnesses, as well as life transitions and other emotional challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Together, we will identify your goals, develop practical tools and coping strategies, and work at a pace that feels right for you as you move toward healing, growth, and improved well-being. Whether you're facing a difficult season or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
During our first session, we'll begin by getting to know one another and discussing what brought you to therapy. This initial session is an opportunity for you to share your concerns, personal experiences, and what you hope to gain from therapy at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we'll explore your goals, discuss what you can expect from the therapeutic process, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered as we begin your journey toward healing and personal growth.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to meet you where you are—without judgment. I recognize that every person's journey is unique, and I strive to build trust through genuine connection, compassion, and authentic rapport. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and life backgrounds, and I recognize that every person's experiences and needs are unique. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself and openly sharing your thoughts and feelings. I am committed to meeting you where you are, honoring your experiences, and working alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and the goals that matter most to you. You don't have to go through life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy, I'm here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we work toward your goals.
I enjoy working with clients who are ready to invest in their healing and personal growth. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy, and you don't need to have all the answers. My role is to meet you where you are with compassion, without judgment, and to provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we'll develop practical tools and strategies that fit your unique needs and goals. The greatest progress happens when you're willing to practice those skills outside of our sessions and apply them to everyday life. If you're open to the process, even if you're feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, we'll work together to help you build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns, gently challenge beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies to help you navigate life's challenges. While I'll always meet you with understanding and compassion, I'll also encourage you to reflect, grow, and step outside of your comfort zone when it supports your healing and personal goals.
