About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She has twelve years of experience in mental and behavioral health. Libby helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and everyday issues like sleep, eating, and self-esteem.

She meets each person where they are and works together to set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits that shape mood and behavior. Libby emphasizes open, honest conversation and practical strategies people can try between sessions.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings with a range of ages and needs. That experience informs a flexible approach that adjusts to each person's situation rather than using one fixed method.

Therapy sessions often blend talking, skill-building, and checking how new habits fit into daily life. She draws on a few different therapy styles to address specific problems and to help people feel more connected to their choices.

Libby aims to create a trusting, team-based relationship so clients can try changes and get useful feedback. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes building safety and trust in the therapy relationship. It helps people notice how past bonds affect current reactions, and it can be useful for relationship pain, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respecting each person's pace and perspective. The therapist listens closely and offers support that helps people discover their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem, grief, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and everyday behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. That may mean using one approach at first or blending several over time.

For practical online therapy questions, confirm available session formats before booking. Different formats can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break, an audio call can use less bandwidth, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when time and surroundings permit. Ask about scheduling and format options when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to match everyday routines.
