About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience. She is licensed in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, and life changes.
Libby draws from several well-established approaches and adapts sessions to each person. She focuses on clear communication, practical feedback, and collaborative goal-setting. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to practice different ways of responding to strong feelings like anger.
Her background includes inpatient and outpatient settings and work across age ranges from children to geriatric clients. That variety informs how she explains things plainly and offers step-by-step strategies. She places emphasis on the working relationship and on open, honest discussion about progress and setbacks.
In sessions she uses techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused tools to help people understand emotions and change unhelpful behaviors. She also draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning and values when facing big life questions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Elizabeth Burris draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for managing anger, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape reactions. That approach helps people recognize patterns in how they connect, argue, or withdraw when upset.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and check progress along the way, adjusting tactics if something is not helping.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. When meeting online, people often appreciate fitting sessions into a busy week, doing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding travel time. Therapists commonly use video for face-to-face conversation or phone for lower bandwidth and easier check-ins, and a clear plan for between-session work can help apply skills to everyday situations.
