About Elizaveta

Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who brings a decade of focused work assisting people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

She holds a Master of Social Work earned in 2014 and a Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts completed in 2009, and she applies that academic foundation to practical, compassionate care. Her professional background includes work with older adults in inpatient settings, outpatient therapy for families and individuals, and treatment for clients coping with substance use in inpatient programs.

She has also supported people with severe mental illness by offering a stable therapeutic setting to explore their experiences and pursue solutions to complex life challenges. Trained in evidence-based methods, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy with MBSR techniques into her practice.

Liza emphasizes helping people reclaim meaning and purpose when life feels unmoored. She believes that guided acceptance of life’s unpredictability and attention to personal values can restore comfort and direction.

Fluent in English and Russian, she offers a range of therapy services designed to help clients move toward a more peaceful and satisfying life, whether they are seeking change or simply need a compassionate listener. As an LCSW, she is a licensed mental health professional qualified to provide clinical assessment and psychotherapy in Florida.

Approaches and online support for meaningful change



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore values, build self-understanding, and find direction. It is useful for concerns about purpose, self esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. It emphasizes changing thinking and behavior to improve daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness practices and present-focused strategies to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. These techniques can complement other therapies when coping with stress, trauma reactions, sleep issues, or chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizaveta works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing support between appointments. For many people this combination of licensed professionals, varied communication options, and adaptable scheduling makes consistent care more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
