About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and issues common in young adulthood such as career and coping with life changes.
Libby uses straightforward, collaborative sessions. She helps people set goals, talk through problems, and try practical steps between meetings. She values an honest working relationship where trust and teamwork guide progress.
Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Over the years she has supported people across the lifespan, including adults and older adults, and has experience with behavioral health, group work, and parenting concerns. This variety informs how she adapts methods to a person's situation.
Clinically she draws on Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. Those methods shape how she addresses relationship patterns, emotional responses, unhelpful thinking, and questions about meaning and identity.
Sessions focus on practical problem solving as much as understanding feelings. Libby encourages clear feedback and honest conversation so clients can test new ways of coping and make small changes that add up. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; it offers clear, step-by-step techniques to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage attention or sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and helps people name and respond to feelings differently to improve connection.Deciding which approach to use is a shared task. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That means early sessions often include checking in about methods and making changes if something does not fit.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work while changing jobs or moving cities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to make online sessions practical for everyday life.
