About Liza
Liza Howe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 20 years of practice. She focuses on adults facing life transitions, mood challenges, and relationship concerns. Her work often centers on women and older adults who are managing change or repeated stressors.
She helps people who feel stuck by depression, anxiety, grief, or stress. She also supports those dealing with addiction-related problems, codependency, and the strain of caregiving. People come to her when divorce or aging brings new practical and emotional challenges.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk and problem-solving. She helps clients name patterns, set small goals, and try different ways of coping. When addiction or codependency is present, she works on boundary skills, urges, and practical steps to reduce harm.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults across a range of concerns. That experience informs how she notices recurring patterns and offers realistic strategies. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can change next.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that clarifies priorities and tests small changes. She tracks progress and adjusts plans when needed. To begin, prospective clients follow the site booking flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing how someone responds to stress and mood shifts. Cognitive-focused methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and the negative self-talk that often shows up with codependent patterns.Behavioral strategies target concrete actions. They break larger problems into small steps, such as scheduling pleasant activities, practicing boundary statements, or setting limits around drinking. These steps help rebuild day-to-day routines and reduce urges tied to addiction or caretaking roles.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. That plan can change if something does not fit, and progress is reviewed in regular sessions.
The practical benefits of remote work depend on the formats offered by the therapist. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt homework, coping tools, and boundary practice to work between sessions so change can happen in everyday settings.
