About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas. She has ten years of experience supporting people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Liz is straightforward and calm in session and emphasizes starting from each person's goals.

She uses Narrative Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps her respond to issues such as eating and body-image concerns, grief, stress, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on practical next steps. Liz pays attention to how past relationships shape present patterns. She helps people notice those stories and then experiment with new ways of relating and coping.

This can include clearer boundaries, communication skills, or practicing small behavior changes between sessions. Her style is low-key and collaborative. She emphasizes client autonomy and checks in about goals often.

People can expect warm, direct conversation and tools they can try between meetings. Outside of work she has a cat and a French bulldog who sometimes appear on calls. She likes hiking and relaxed weekends.

Liz welcomes brief first meetings to see if the fit feels right.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth brings Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping them notice which stories limit them and which can be reshaped. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values, accepting uncomfortable feelings when needed, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

She views therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to identify priorities, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients are invited to set goals and to experiment with small changes between meetings so the work feels relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work for ongoing support, quick problem-solving, and people who want written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
