How Elizabeth works
Libby emphasizes honest conversation and teamwork so people feel heard and understood. She draws on several approaches depending on what each person needs, including attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, and emotionally-focused strategies to process hurt and connection. The work often includes learning new coping skills and practicing small changes in daily life.
Libby has experience across inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported people with a wide range of concerns, from ADHD and bipolar symptoms to grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and substance use. Her background includes work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in different care settings. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
Libby invites people to be open about what they want to change and to try practical steps between sessions. She asks a few questions at intake to shape a plan that fits each person’s situation and goals.

How Libby’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior and feelings; it can help with intimacy struggles, attachment issues, and family conflict. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering a respectful space where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on emotions and interaction patterns, phone appointments can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and needs.
