About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship struggles, mood challenges, and issues like ADHD, addiction, grief, or parenting strain. She is Elizabeth Burris, an LPC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, based in North Carolina. She brings 12 years of experience in mental and behavioral health to her work.
Libby uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients set small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behaviors while also helping clients change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Emotionally-focused and existential approaches inform the way she explores meaning, closeness, and identity when those come up. She has experience across inpatient and outpatient settings and with a range of concerns from childhood behavior issues to geriatric needs. Her background includes supporting people with trauma, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.
Those years of practice feed into a pragmatic, steadily paced approach. People who meet with her can expect a warm, honest partnership. She values trust and clear communication and works with each person to build goals that fit their life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It can help people understand patterns of closeness, fear of abandonment, and how past bonds affect present relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and attention concerns, and many everyday challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and help choose strategies that feel like a good fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video lets people see facial cues and work in real time, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for focused check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
