About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience. She practices from North Carolina and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and blended family issues.
Libby favors a straightforward, collaborative approach. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations are direct and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and relationships. She uses methods that fit the person rather than a single fixed model.
Her background includes inpatient and outpatient work and experience across age groups from children to older adults. That range has shaped how she responds to grief, behavioral challenges, mood disorders, and ADHD. She draws on multiple therapeutic tools to address emotion regulation, communication problems, and patterns that repeat across relationships.
In sessions she often blends attachment-informed ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work. This helps people understand patterns, test new behaviors, and repair strained connections. She also uses existential perspectives when clients are facing big life questions or transitions.
Libby asks clients to be open about goals so therapy stays practical. She expects honesty and teamwork in session and gives direct feedback and suggestions. To get started, clients use the platform questionnaire and schedule a first appointment as described in her profile.
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. It can help people in stepfamilies understand loyalty conflicts and repair trust with partners or parenting figures.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing practical problems like sleep, anger, or impulse control.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and change interaction patterns that create distance or conflict. It can be applied when communication and emotional connection are goals in blended households.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test methods, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps the person in daily life.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting, work, or caregiving duties. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and let people join without travel, which can reduce scheduling friction while keeping the focus on practical changes.
