Elizabeth "Libby" Burris

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people manage life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and struggles with addiction or ADHD. Libby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from North Carolina. She has 12 years of experience in mental and behavioral health.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She meets people where they are and works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on honest conversation, practical steps, and building a reliable working relationship between client and therapist.

Libby draws from several therapeutic approaches to fit what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and connection. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has helped individuals across the lifespan, including young children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. That range has shaped her flexibility in how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients. Her experience includes work on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, behavioral challenges, and family stress.

Working together usually begins with a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step. From there she and the client decide on priorities and a plan. The focus is on steady progress, practical strategies, and building skills that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how past connections affect current behavior. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeating relationship problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals; it helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives step-by-step ways to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods, adjust techniques, and track progress so the work fits the client's life and values.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for brief check-ins when a quick conversation will help keep momentum. Ask about available arrangements when you start the matching process so practical details match your routine.
