About Elizabeth

Libby uses straightforward language and a collaborative style to help parents and individuals set realistic goals and make steady changes. Libby tailors sessions to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She often draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when people want concrete strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and with a wide range of concerns across the lifespan.
That background gives Libby experience with parenting stress, behavioral issues, mood disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, and substance use challenges. Sessions are practical and goal oriented while still paying attention to emotions and meaning. Clients can expect a respectful, honest working relationship that emphasizes teamwork.
Libby values open communication and gives direct feedback when it helps move progress forward. She helps people build skills they can use between sessions. Therapy can be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Libby commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotions. This approach can help people notice recurring interaction styles and try new ways of relating to partners, children, or caregivers.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s priorities. That method helps people feel heard while they set their own goals and make changes at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting challenges that respond to skill-based practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits best based on concerns, goals, and personal preference. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
