Elizabeth "Liz" Gray, LSCSW - Therapist in Kansas

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray practices using collaborative, skills-based approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She is a licensed social worker - LSCSW - and brings ten years of clinical experience. Liz keeps sessions practical and paced to each person’s needs, starting from the goals the client sets.

She emphasizes client autonomy and clear, direct communication in sessions. Liz earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University in 2013 and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2016.

Background and approach

Her training and years in practice have included work with anxiety, depression, eating and body-image issues, and trauma and abuse. She also has experience supporting people facing domestic violence, grief, and major life changes. In session she combines cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based work and attachment-informed perspectives.

That mix allows her to teach coping skills, process difficult memories, and strengthen patterns of connection and boundaries when needed. She adapts the approach to the situation and the client’s pace. Practical concerns like communication problems, family problems, commitment and control issues, and codependency are within her focus.

Liz also addresses adoption and foster care topics, separation and divorce, and struggles around emptiness or dissociation. Her work is straightforward and goal-focused while remaining flexible. Outside of work she has a cat and a French bulldog who might occasionally appear on video.

Liz enjoys hiking and values a relaxed, down-to-earth style in sessions.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help identify unhelpful thoughts and teach practical behavior and coping skills for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - is used to clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and support commitment to meaningful actions when facing stress or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and choose or blend methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative so treatment can be adjusted as progress and priorities shift.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different comfort levels and schedules. These options make it easier to use skills between sessions, check in more frequently when needed, and keep momentum during busy or transitional periods. Licensed professionals, including therapists like her, can provide consistent therapeutic support through these formats while focusing on practical tools and relationship patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
