About Eliza

Eliza Mendoza is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She offers straightforward support for common challenges like sleep problems, low self-esteem, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Eliza is based in Texas and works with people from many backgrounds, including LGBT individuals and those managing chronic illness or caregiver responsibilities. Eliza uses clear, practical methods in sessions so clients can try new tools between meetings.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and behavior patterns keep someone stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

In practice, sessions focus on building communication skills, setting boundaries, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, blended family challenges, codependency, and commitment concerns. Problems with work, career choice, and addiction are addressed with goal-oriented planning and skill building.

Eliza emphasizes respect for personal values and cultural context. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels doable. Over time, clients learn ways to reduce daily stress and handle difficult emotions with more confidence.

People who choose her can expect a calm, collaborative approach that blends practical exercises and reflective conversation. Eliza aims to help clients find clearer direction, better routines, and stronger coping strategies for life’s transitions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions center on the client’s priorities and Eliza adjusts pacing and topics to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions include practical exercises and homework that clients can try between meetings to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Eliza will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process lets clients test different tools and keep the techniques that fit their life and values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful when visual cues matter and for deeper therapeutic conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging allow quick, ongoing connection and skill coaching between meetings. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around busy schedules and different comfort levels.
