    About Eliza

    Eliza Niemann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland. She brings 20 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical support and gentle guidance for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

    Eliza works in a collaborative way that begins with where the person is now. She listens to strengths and goals, then helps identify small, doable steps toward change. Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

    She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons and energy for change. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and make difficult feelings easier to sit with. Together these approaches aim to make progress feel realistic and sustainable.

    Eliza has supported people through caregiving stress, communication problems, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, and concerns around self-love and women's issues. She has led workshops and support groups in addition to individual counseling. Her style is warm, practical, and goal-oriented while staying respectful of each person's pace.

    To begin, she encourages people to name one small concern they want to address. From there she helps set clear, manageable goals and monitors progress so changes feel achievable over time.

  2. Approaches that translate to online sessions

    Eliza uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation from within. This approach involves reflective listening and questions that help someone clarify what matters most to them and what steps feel doable.

    She also blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding a person's experience, while CBT offers concrete exercises to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together these methods are useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, motivation, and life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliza will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made. The process is guided by the client's priorities and pace.

    The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving duties.
