About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Libby" Burris, LPC, LCMHC, is licensed in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and has 12 years of experience in the mental health and behavioral health field. She works with adults and other age groups on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, body image, and substance-related concerns. Sessions are described as collaborative and based on the client's needs.
Libby uses a client-centered stance and emphasizes an honest working relationship. She seeks to build trust and teamwork in sessions so people can address concrete goals. She says there is no single approach that fits everyone and she adapts methods based on what the client needs.
Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has experience with individuals, adolescents, young children, and the geriatric population in individual, group, and family contexts. Her training includes several therapeutic approaches she uses in practice, including attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, existential ideas, and client-centered work.
Libby earned a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling in 2014 from Carlow University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She notes practical experience with a wide range of issues, from behavioral and oppositional concerns to serious mood and trauma-related conditions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections affect current relationships. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people change how they relate to others, which is useful for relationship and attachment issues.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and preferences. The therapist listens and reflects so clients can clarify goals and make practical changes; this approach works well for self-esteem, grief, and general life stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses specific strategies and skill-building to manage anxiety, depression, and some behavioral problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and recommend approaches that fit. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively rather than fixed in advance.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to check in from a quieter place. They can also allow for shorter or more frequent sessions when that suits a client's routine.
