Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris integrates several practical approaches to fit each client’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people improve trust, safety, and closeness in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person with empathy and respect, allowing clients to guide the pace and goals of work while the therapist offers support and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Libby works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapts treatment over time so it remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options provide scheduling flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistent care while pursuing personal growth and coping strategies with professional support.
