Skills For Effective Counseling

Psychological Fitness

Achieving and maintaining psychological fitness is a core skill. At Therapy Right with Liz, we help you develop resilience, manage stress, and foster emotional well-being through proven therapeutic techniques.

We also put high importance on staying psychologically fit ourselves. There is something to be said about self-care in order to pour into others.  

Cultural Diversity

Understanding and respecting cultural diversity is paramount. We create an inclusive environment where your unique background is valued and understood, ensuring culturally sensitive counseling at Therapy Right with Liz. God has created each person in His own image and therefore, the way we treat people ought to reflect such. 

Genuineness

Genuineness is at the heart of effective counseling. At Therapy Right with Liz, we provide authentic and honest support, fostering a trusting relationship where you can openly express yourself and work towards healing.

Flexibility

Adapting to your unique needs is crucial. Therapy Right with Liz offers flexible approaches and techniques tailored to your individual circumstances, ensuring the most effective path to wellness and personal growth. Therapy is not a one size fits all approach. 

Self-Awareness

Developing self-awareness is key to personal and spiritual growth. it is important for therapists to know where they are at personally as well have the ability to help others achieve self-awareness. 

Patience

Patience is a two-folded approach.  We want clients to have patience with themselves as healing takes time. We also want to have patience with our clients - because healing takes time. The Lord doesn't rush us to perfection, and clients are rushed to healing.  

Empathy

Empathy is foundational in counseling. it is vital people feel heard and understood as well as cared about. People experience real pain and have real stories. The last thing needed is judgement and a deaf ear. 

Amiability

We believe building rapport with clients is part of the foundation to counseling. The first few sessions are surrounded on getting to one another. client trust is vital in the counseling process and healing journey. 

Acceptance

Unconditional acceptance is vital. Here a non-judgmental space is our goal.  A safe space for you to explore thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or rejection. Jesus invites us to come as we are, and it is His love that brings about change. that is the method approach here.
