Elizabeth "Liz" Gray, LSCSW

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed social worker who uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other methods to support goals around relationships, eating and body image, and coping with life changes.

Liz keeps sessions straightforward and goal-driven. She asks what matters to each person and builds steps that feel doable. The focus is often on changing unhelpful patterns, improving communication, and strengthening self-worth.

Over ten years of clinical experience inform her work. Liz has supported people facing trauma and abuse, domestic violence, grief, compassion fatigue, and complicated family dynamics. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and dissociation.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She emphasizes autonomy and works at each person’s pace while using tools from acceptance-based and dialectical approaches when helpful. Practical exercises and clear next steps are regular parts of sessions.

Liz is based in Kansas and holds the KS LSCSW credential. She offers a mix of session formats to fit different needs and schedules. Outside of work she enjoys hiking and shares her home with a cat and a French bulldog who sometimes pop into calls.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can be useful for chronic worry and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses patterns in close relationships and attachment needs, helping people understand and change how they relate to others and manage intimacy or trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to figure out what fits best for a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches. Sessions begin by identifying priorities and then testing tools to see what helps in everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing practice. These options offer flexibility so people can keep momentum between appointments and choose what suits them on a given day.
