About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a Kansas-licensed LSCSW with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and eating and body image concerns. Liz also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.
She explains things plainly and sets goals together with each person. Sessions focus on practical skills for communication, boundary setting, and coping with everyday stressors. Liz values client autonomy and moves at a pace the client is comfortable with.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches to suit each situation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and make choices that matter. Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships affect current reactions and patterns. These methods are used to address issues such as codependency, abandonment, and family of origin problems.
Practical help might include communication practice, boundary-setting exercises, and tools for managing anxiety or urges around food. Liz pays attention to how life changes and stress influence daily functioning. The presence of a cat or French bulldog may occasionally be part of a session, adding a relaxed moment.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can clarify why certain relationship cycles repeat. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client directs what to work on.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on how the client responds. That collaborative testing helps narrow down which tools are most useful for issues like codependency, boundary setting, or healing from past hurt.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. When video is difficult, people often choose phone sessions to lower bandwidth needs or to have a quicker focused meeting. Confirm available formats and scheduling through the platform matching process before the first appointment.
