About Elizaveta
Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related concerns such as sleep difficulties and self-esteem issues.
She draws on approaches that center the person's perspective and practical skills. Sessions focus on problem-solving, coping strategies, and rethinking unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. Liza also uses mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods when relevant.
Her background includes inpatient and outpatient work with older adults, people in addiction treatment, and individuals with severe mental illness. She earned a Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts in 2009 and a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014, then went on to practice across clinical settings in Florida.
In sessions she emphasizes finding or redefining purpose as a way to reduce emptiness and regain direction. She helps people talk through life changes, caregiving strain, chronic illness concerns, body image and eating issues, and first-responder stress.
She offers services in English and Russian and works with both substance-related and behavioral addiction concerns. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, letting the therapist follow what matters most in each session. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises, useful for anxiety, worry, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with strong mood swings and coping during crises.Choosing the right approach is typically a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and what methods feel most comfortable, then try strategies and adjust them as needed. Clients can expect decisions about approach to be made together rather than prescribed up front.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter setting for focused skill practice. Some formats also make it simpler to use worksheets, practice mindfulness exercises, or do brief check-ins between longer sessions. Ask about specific options when arranging the first appointment.
