Approaches Used in Online Therapy with Elizabeth "Libby" Burris

Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients understand how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotion. Through this approach, the focus is on recognizing attachment needs and building more secure ways of relating, which can be helpful for issues like abandonment, relationship conflicts, and attachment-related distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and exploring personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other symptoms. CBT provides structured tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and increasing effective coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Libby works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adapt techniques as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. This variety of options supports access to consistent, ongoing therapeutic work from different settings and circumstances.
