Liza Trainello, LCSW
About me
My ideal client is focused on growth, developing awareness and is motivated. Therapy is not a one-sided conversation. Therapy is a mutual collaboration between the client and therapist. I treat all clients with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I believe that healing occurs through the therapeutic process and change often happens.
I am Liza Trainello (she/her) a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist in Florida. I have seven years of experience which include hospital and outpatient settings. I have supported clients with a wide range of mental health concerns ranging from anxiety, addictions, stress, family and relationship conflicts, parenting problems, work related problems, grief, loss, trauma, and OCD disorders. As a therapist, I have expertise working with first responders and health care workers.
My clinical approach uses Eclectic Psychotherapy. This means that I aim to discover and implement the most effective treatment using different methods like CBT, DBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered Therapy and more. Sessions will be tailored to your specific needs. I recognize that embarking on therapy is a courageous decision. I will support and empower you in this process. I look forward to working with you!

Depression, anxiety and issues with family, friends, works, relationship.
My time with Liza was amazing. She gave me exactly what I needed at the time which was accountability and a path. I was in dire need of the steps to get myself out of the mental hole I was in and she gave me that. Thank you Liza.

Liza has been such an incredible help. Working with her helped me to be more self-observant and understanding. She makes CBT easy to understand and her methodology was very effective. Liza is great at challenging beliefs that need to be challenged in a respectful and open manner. If it were not for Liza I would be in a very different place.
