About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports clients dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem, eating or sleeping problems, and life changes. Libby brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on building a trusting working relationship.
Libby is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with 12 years in the mental health field.
Background and approach
She earned a master's degree in Professional Counseling and has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. Her background includes work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across individual and group formats. Her approach adapts to each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
She collaborates with clients to set goals and offers clear feedback to help people make changes that matter. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on practical steps between meetings. Libby draws from several therapeutic methods including attachment-based and client-centered ideas plus cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work.
She pays attention to how relationships and personal meaning shape feelings and behavior. That mix helps with issues such as anger, attachment concerns, and coping after loss. Clients who meet with her can expect respectful, goal-oriented sessions and an emphasis on teamwork.
She works with people who want to understand patterns, improve relationships, and develop tools to manage strong emotions and everyday stressors.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape the way people form bonds and manage emotion. Online sessions can help clients notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like setting small experiments, tracking thoughts between meetings, and reviewing progress together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with CBT techniques or trying emotionally-focused strategies when relationship issues are central. Decisions are revisited as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
