Liz Tran , LPC

Liz Tran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults who are coping with relationship strain, career changes, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Liz brings a calm, direct style and centers each session on listening and giving clients space to be heard.

She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking, build small habits, and set clear goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what the client finds useful.

Liz has about 10 years of experience and has worked in private practice, nonprofit organizations, agencies, and public schools. That background means she has seen a range of situations, including domestic violence and sexual assault and abuse, and supports people processing those experiences.

She aims to create a brave, empathetic space where clients can speak up and try things that fit their lives. Feedback from clients is welcomed and shapes the direction of therapy. Liz emphasizes collaboration so each person helps decide what feels most helpful.

People looking for help with coping skills, grief work, anger management, or women-focused concerns may find her approach practical and straightforward. Her work is focused on small, achievable steps that support lasting changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Liz uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of bodily sensations and emotions so people can respond more calmly to stress and strong feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, achievable goals and tracking progress toward what the person wants to change.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust methods if something is not working. Clients help shape session goals and the pace of work so the approach fits their needs.

Online therapy with Liz is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a tight schedule and to reflect between messages. These options make it easier for people to get consistent support without major travel.
