About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, phobias, and relationship or family concerns. She is Elizabeth Burris, LPC, LCMHC, and brings 12 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
She focuses on what will help someone feel steadier day to day. She adapts her approach to each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions are practical and focused on steps clients can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and works with clients to set clear goals they both understand. Her background includes outpatient and inpatient settings and work with people across ages and life stages. That range gave her experience with anxiety, mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
She also supports issues like attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Libby uses several approaches based on the person and the goal. These include attachment-based methods to improve relationships, client-centered work that follows the person's lead, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
She explains each option and helps clients choose what fits. She practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, in North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and delivered in formats that suit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Libby commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive-behavioral therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect, which can reduce fear and isolation. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, phobias, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps people see what feels useful and what needs to change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging allows for shorter check-ins and for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving duties.
