Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Elizabeth "Libby" Burris uses several well-established approaches adapted for remote care. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and trust; it can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties by exploring emotional bonds and safety in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspectives, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to help people build self-understanding and confidence when facing stress, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, providing practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, unhealthy thinking patterns, and behavioral challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Burris collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Burris is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow for ongoing, consistent support across busy lives.
