About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports those facing ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy challenges, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting strain, self-esteem issues, and career changes. Libby brings plain talk and steady support to sessions so people can make small, real changes that matter.

Libby is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. She earned her master’s degree in professional counseling in 2014 and has about 12 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and time with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Her approach begins by listening to each person’s needs and goals. She uses a mix of methods to fit the person rather than forcing one model on everyone. That can involve looking at relationships, emotions, thoughts, and practical skills for daily life.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship, clear goals, and honest feedback. She works collaboratively so clients understand the options and choose what feels useful. Progress is practical and paced to each person’s comfort level.

Libby aims to make therapy accessible and straightforward. If readers think she might be a good fit, the next step is to complete the site’s matching questionnaire and follow the scheduling prompts.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach focus on noticing relationship patterns and practicing different ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect for each person's voice, helping clients set their own goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together so therapy fits personal needs rather than following a fixed plan.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Online work can also let someone continue care across routine life changes while keeping focus on day-to-day goals and skills.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
