About Liza

Liza Chigos is a licensed counselor with 5 years of clinical experience who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She holds the credentials LPC and LPCC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and maintains licensure in Minnesota and Virginia. Her work encompasses a broad range of concerns, including depression, relationship and communication problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress.

Liza has particular experience supporting people who have endured emotional abuse and trauma and maintains a special interest in workforce protection for first responders and hospital staff. She also offers focused care for issues such as attachment difficulties, panic attacks, hoarding, guilt and shame, and needs related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Her practice aims to meet each person's unique situation rather than relying on stigmatizing labels.

Known for a warm, interactive style, Liza blends respectful, sensitive, and compassionate engagement with tailored treatment planning. She draws on multiple theoretical perspectives to shape therapy in ways that fit each client, and she remains flexible with scheduling by offering evening and weekend hours as available. Liza provides supportive guidance to help people take the first steps toward meaningful change and improved well-being.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care

Liza integrates client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to support people working through stress, trauma, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the person’s own goals guide sessions and pace, which helps when healing from trauma or coping with grief. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find personal motivation for change, often useful for behavior shifts and managing burnout. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths to build small, achievable changes that improve daily functioning and reduce distress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Liza works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support from licensed professionals without extensive travel, making it easier to maintain progress and integrate strategies into everyday life.
