Therapeutic approaches and online access

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to relieve symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger, offering practical strategies and skills that transfer into daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonding experiences to help improve current relationships and attachment-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Libby discusses goals and preferences with each client and adapts methods over time so the work aligns with what the client needs and hopes to achieve. She emphasizes teamwork and clear communication when deciding which techniques to use.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing options for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make ongoing care more accessible and flexible, allowing clients to maintain continuity of therapy from their own location while working through the issues most important to them.
