Elizabeth "Liz" Gray, LSCSW

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed social worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and everyday stress. Liz emphasizes the person's own goals and pace in therapy. She draws from several practical approaches to tailor care to each person. Sessions often focus on thoughts and everyday habits, improving communication, setting boundaries, and coping with life changes like divorce or loss. Liz also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, attachment concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work is straightforward and collaborative. She starts by listening to what the person wants to change, then agrees on small steps to try between sessions. Treatment can include skill-building for emotion regulation, strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and ways to reconnect with values and daily routines. Outside of work she enjoys hiking and spending time with her cat and French bulldog, who sometimes make a cameo in sessions. She describes herself as laid back and adaptable, which shows in how she meets people where they are. If someone wants to explore whether she is a good fit, Liz welcomes an initial meeting to see how therapy might help. She emphasizes client autonomy and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

How Liz’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and trust, and it can help with relationship strain and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She listens to goals and preferences and adjusts the plan so it fits the person’s needs and pace.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy day, make scheduling shorter check-ins possible, and reduce travel time. Online work can still include practical exercises, thought records, values-based homework, and skill practice that translate well to everyday life. Licensed professionals help tailor those activities so they match a person’s routine and goals.
