About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard transitions. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with practical tools to help with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes. Lisa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience.

She keeps sessions focused on the person's goals and day-to-day struggles. Lisa listens first, then helps people find small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. Many clients work on mood, relationship concerns, parenting stress, or managing ADHD and bipolar symptoms alongside life changes like loss or career shifts.

Her approach adapts to each person's values, including spiritual or religious beliefs when desired. Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are used to build motivation and calm overwhelmed thinking. Solution-focused strategies help identify immediate next steps when someone needs quick relief or clearer direction.

Lisa has worked across school, clinical, and military-related settings, and supports people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She often helps young adults navigate academic and life transitions, but also assists others facing caregiver stress, postpartum concerns, and substance use issues.

Sessions emphasize respect and practical problem solving. Prospective clients who want to explore coping strategies, improve mood, or manage stress and relationships will find an experienced counselor who aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and respected. Online sessions can use that same attitude to identify immediate concerns and shape goals together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and builds practical skills to change patterns. Online work can include tracking mood, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing homework together.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention practices that reduce reactivity. These techniques can be taught and practiced in remote sessions and then used during daily routines to manage stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses so the plan fits each person's situation.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules, and they can allow short check-ins, guided skill practice, or longer problem-solving meetings without needing extra travel time.
