About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and a wide range of other struggles. Libby draws on 12 years in mental and behavioral health to help people find clearer steps forward.
She favors an approach shaped by each person's needs rather than a single technique. Sessions start with listening. Together they set practical goals and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Libby emphasizes honesty and teamwork in the relationship to keep work focused and realistic.
Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and experience with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. That variety informs how she adapts methods for different ages and life stages. She has helped people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, body image, and parenting challenges.
Libby uses several well-known approaches depending on what fits best. She brings attachment-based ideas when relationships are central, client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the person's priorities, and cognitive-behavioral techniques for skills and coping. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also appear when they serve the client's goals.
If someone thinks Libby might be the right fit, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions are arranged according to her North Carolina practice and the site's scheduling flow.

How her approaches shape online work
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris uses approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how past bonds affect current connections, which helps when relationship trust or intimacy is a concern. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace, offering a space where the client's goals drive each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Libby works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments. Because formats are not specified in her biography, confirm current session options before booking. When arranging sessions, think about what works best for you - shorter check-ins during a break, longer weekly conversations, or skill-focused sessions to practice between meetings. The aim is to make therapy manageable and helpful within your routine.
