About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults on common home and relationship strains such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, family conflict, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her style is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals, honest feedback, and teamwork between therapist and client. She draws on several approaches and matches methods to what a person needs rather than using a single fixed method.
Libby has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and with a range of age groups from young children to older adults in past roles. That experience informs how she notices patterns in relationships, caregiving stress, and behavior that affect everyday family life.
In sessions she helps people talk through parenting strain, communication problems, grief and loss, substance issues, and mood or attention concerns. She also addresses issues related to trauma, anger, and control problems when those affect home life or relationships.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration. She discusses options such as attachment-based ideas for relationship patterns, client-centered listening to reflect what matters most to the client, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. Clients are invited to be direct about what they want to change and to set concrete goals together.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach can help when people keep repeating the same arguments or withdraw in close relationships. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps clarify priorities and builds a stronger working relationship between therapist and client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns related to parenting or anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life. It may allow shorter check-ins, fewer travel demands, and scheduling that fits around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and homework so they work in a person's everyday setting rather than relying only on in-office routines.
