About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is an LSCSW licensed in Kansas with 10 years of clinical practice. She works with people managing anxiety, depression, eating and body image concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and everyday stressors. Liz emphasizes starting with each person’s goals and moves at a pace that feels manageable.

Liz uses several well-known approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based skills to help people notice what matters and make small changes. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas when relationship patterns and family of origin issues are central to the problem. Sessions often include practical tools for coping with stress and building communication skills.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Over a decade she has supported people dealing with grief, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and the effects of domestic violence and abuse. Liz lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, dissociation, and body image and eating-related issues.

In sessions she prioritizes client autonomy and clear goal-setting. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with skills practice and brief experiments between appointments when that fits the client's aims. She mentions a relaxed personal style and sometimes a cat or French bulldog may make an appearance during a meeting.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters despite difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and stress by teaching skills for staying engaged with life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses experiments and skills practice to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and body image concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early connections to help people understand current relationship struggles and improve communication and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign brief exercises to practice between meetings and use screen time for worksheets or guided skills practice, which helps therapy fit into a busy life.
