About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a Kansas-licensed social worker (LSCSW) with 10 years of clinical experience. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Kansas State University and a Master of Clinical Social Work from the University of Kansas. Liz lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image issues, depression, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.

Liz focuses on helping people set clear goals and keep control of the pace. She prefers a client-centered stance and encourages autonomy in sessions. That means conversations start with what the client wants to address and build from there.

Her practice draws on a few well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. She uses these methods flexibly to suit the presenting concern, for example working on coping skills for anxiety or communication patterns in relationships.

Liz has experience with eating and food-related issues, body image, domestic violence, attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, and dissociation. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, codependency, commitment and control issues, and career-related stress.

Outside of work she has a cat and a French bulldog who sometimes appear on camera. She enjoys hiking and often prefers a relaxed approach in sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small, practical steps toward them. It can help with avoidance, rumination, and feelings of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Liz will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as sessions progress and discusses options so clients can weigh what feels most useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals use these formats to help people practice skills between meetings and apply changes to everyday situations.
