About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick uses a client-centered and cognitive behavioral approach to help people facing everyday stresses and deeper struggles. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. Lisa speaks plainly, listens closely, and adapts methods to each person’s situation and values.

Lisa brings 20 years of clinical experience in North Carolina to her work. She has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood episodes, addictions, grief, anger, and stress.

Background and approach

Parenting and family concerns are a common focus alongside life transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, adoption, and caregiving challenges. Her practice also includes attention to attention-deficit challenges, social anxiety, communication problems, and issues that can arise in military-connected lives. She works with matters tied to identity and culture, including LGBT concerns and multicultural issues.

In sessions she combines practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered stance that respects each person’s beliefs and choices. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want short-term goal work. Mindfulness strategies may be added to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Lisa holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, and she draws on two decades of practice to tailor care to individual needs.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's values and goals. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client’s lead while working around daily schedules and responsibilities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear, practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In virtual sessions clients can learn those tools, practice them between meetings, and get timely feedback from the therapist.

Mindfulness techniques help with stress reduction and emotional regulation through simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises work well in short video or phone sessions and can be integrated into text or live chat check-ins.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what matters most, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as progress is made. That flexibility helps create a plan that feels workable for busy lives.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits. It provides easier scheduling, access from different locations including international clients, and multiple ways to keep in touch between appointments. These options make it simpler to stay consistent with care while balancing family, work, and other commitments.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
