About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from North Carolina. Libby has 12 years of experience in mental and behavioral health settings.
She uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Libby meets people where they are and works together with them to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what will make life easier day to day, such as managing worry, improving sleep, or handling difficult emotions. Her approach pulls from several methods so she can tailor care to each person. That can mean looking at patterns from early relationships, using cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or focusing on the emotions that drive upsetting interactions.
The emphasis is on honest conversation and teamwork between therapist and client. Libby has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping issues, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem. She has also supported people facing life transitions and career stress.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions so they can respond differently in close relationships and feel more connected.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress is made. This collaborative process helps determine whether a more cognitive, emotional, or attachment-focused path fits best.
Online therapy offers options to match life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and a fuller sense of connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or people who prefer writing. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
