About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and struggles with addiction or attention challenges. She is Elizabeth Burris, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. Her tone is practical and direct, focused on clear steps clients can use to move forward.
Libby works in a collaborative way that centers each person's needs and goals. Sessions are straightforward conversations about what's happening now, what patterns are keeping problems going, and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
She uses several approaches to fit different concerns instead of relying on a single method. Her background includes 12 years in mental and behavioral health across inpatient and outpatient settings. That experience includes work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and with issues such as grief, anger, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and mood disorders.
She draws on that variety when tailoring care for each person. In session she emphasizes honesty and teamwork. Clients can expect practical tools, reflective discussion, and attention to the relationship in therapy.
Libby aims to help people gain clearer choices and steadier coping skills for daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats to suit different needs and rhythms.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past close relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It can help people who feel stuck in repeating hurtful patterns or who struggle with trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to support self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning makes it easier to try tools that feel useful and stop what does not.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a quicker option when bandwidth is limited or during a short break at work. Live chat and messaging support ongoing check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and stay consistent with their work.
