About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood disorders, addiction, parenting struggles, and other life changes. Libby draws on 12 years of experience across settings to help clients find clearer ways forward.

She uses a flexible, person-centered style that begins where each client is. Sessions focus on building trust and practical steps toward agreed goals. Libby encourages open, direct conversation so people can get useful feedback and try new coping tools between meetings.

Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral tools when those fit a person’s needs. Emotionally-focused and existential perspectives also inform her work when relationships, meaning, or identity are central topics. This mix helps address feelings, patterns, and daily habits that keep problems going.

Libby has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and with a range of ages, from young children to older adults. She has experience helping with ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, eating and sleep concerns, anger and control issues, and substance use struggles among other issues listed on her profile.

If someone thinks she might be a fit, the first step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. That process starts the conversation about goals, pacing, and what each person hopes to change.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. It can help when jealousy, trust, or closeness issues are getting in the way of relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on meeting the person where they are and following their pace. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through decisions and build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about technique and pacing are collaborative and may change as work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people continue work during life transitions. Because session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
