Elizabeth "Liz" Gray

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed social worker who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other practical approaches to help people cope with difficult life experiences. She holds a KS LSCSW and brings 10 years of experience to sessions. Liz keeps things straightforward and lets each person set the pace and goals for therapy.

Liz focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, domestic violence, eating and body-image issues, and problems with relationships and communication. Her work includes attention to family of origin concerns, attachment struggles, and the effects of adoption or foster care experiences.

Her approach combines several methods so treatment fits the person rather than the other way around. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and supports autonomy in the room.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-driven. Liz emphasizes the client’s choices and asks what matters most before suggesting tools or exercises. She is described as laid back and approachable, and she aims to make therapy feel like a supportive space to talk through hard things.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking and spending time with her cat and French bulldog, who may occasionally appear on video. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to available times.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences. It uses gradual, paced work to address distressing memories and the ways those memories show up in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values and goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and works to build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Liz will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether trauma-focused work, ACT, attachment work, or a mix of methods is the best fit for the moment and the longer term.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because no specific formats are listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like exposure exercises, values-based activities, and emotion regulation skills to work well at a distance, while keeping the focus on practical steps a person can use between sessions.
