Elizabeth "Libby" Burris, LPC, LCMHC

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Libby practices in North Carolina and brings 12 years of experience in mental and behavioral health to her work.

She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her and on concrete goals. Libby believes therapy should match each person’s needs, so she shapes sessions around what a client wants to achieve. She values clear, honest conversation and works collaboratively to set steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings and with a wide range of ages. Over the years she has supported people with mood disorders, trauma, developmental differences such as autism, parenting and family concerns, and substance-related problems. This variety has informed a flexible, practical approach to common life difficulties.

Libby uses a mix of methods that suit the person rather than a single fixed model. She leans on attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns and on client-centered ways to keep the person’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies and emotionally-focused work are also part of how she helps people manage thoughts and feelings.

If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and appointments occur through the site's scheduling process.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeating interaction styles and try different responses in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and feelings; the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity about what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical tools and homework to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses to keep the work relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice new skills in the context of everyday life, with follow-up tasks discussed during appointments. Licensed professionals adapt strategies so the work remains practical and goal-oriented, whether someone wants help with mood, relationships, or coping skills.
