Elizabeth "Libby" Burris

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She works with concerns like trauma, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family strain, grief, sleep and eating issues, and self-esteem. Libby is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 12 years in mental and behavioral health. She practices in North Carolina and communicates in English.

Libby keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. She focuses on building trust and teamwork so people can try new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with honest feedback to support change.

Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and experience across age groups from young children to older adults. She has worked with individuals, groups, and has supported people around parenting, behavioral issues, and relationship problems. Her training and clinical roles cover a wide variety of concerns so she draws on different approaches as needed.

Clinically she uses methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These tools are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than used the same way for everyone. She emphasizes meeting people where they are and moving step by step toward the goals they set.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability. Libby aims to work with each person to find practical strategies they can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people explore patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and moves at the client’s pace; it supports people who need a listening space to process emotions and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful reactions, which can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools online to teach skills, review homework, and discuss relationship patterns in a collaborative way.
