About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She practices from Kansas and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and concerns about body image and eating. Liz emphasizes starting from each person’s goals and moving at a pace that feels comfortable.
She uses practical, evidence-based approaches to address everyday struggles and bigger life shifts. Sessions often center on improving communication, setting boundaries, and coping with relationship strain or family-of-origin issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people processing trauma, domestic violence, and the lasting effects of abandonment or adoption and foster care experiences. Liz values collaboration and client autonomy. She listens first, then helps people choose tools that fit their life.
Progress may include learning new coping strategies, practicing emotion regulation, or shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. She holds the KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential, LSCSW.
Outside of work she’s laid back and enjoys hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Her cat and French bulldog sometimes make brief appearances during sessions, which many people find a lighthearted touch. Liz aims to be a steady, practical partner while people work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practice small, practical changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and body image concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Liz collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level, and adjusts strategies as progress happens.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
