About Elizaveta

Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, and related struggles. She conducts sessions in English and Russian and accepts international clients.

Before becoming an LCSW she completed a bachelor’s in Culture and Arts and a master’s in Social Work in 2014. Her early work included inpatient care with older adults and addiction treatment, plus outpatient therapy with individuals and families. That mix of settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems.

She draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused techniques appear in her work. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and practice emotional regulation.

Liza often focuses on restoring meaning and purpose when life feels vacant. She supports people dealing with body image, sleep and eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses ADHD, communication problems, codependency, and control issues.

Her background includes working with severe mental illness and inpatient addiction treatment, so she is used to high-intensity situations and practical problem solving. She encourages clear goals and step-by-step plans so clients can track change and make decisions about next steps.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. Online sessions let the therapist and client set clear goals, pace conversations, and check progress each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; online sessions can include worksheets, homework, and short skill-practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance with concrete tools for handling strong feelings, which can be reviewed and practiced during remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to decide which mix of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or trauma-focused techniques fit best for the issue at hand.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a short check-in during a break. It also permits using written exercises, guided mindfulness, and skill practice between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
