About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a Kansas LSCSW with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, eating and body-image issues, and coping with life changes. She also addresses grief, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
Liz centers sessions on each person’s goals and pace. She uses straightforward talk and evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. She also brings attachment-focused perspectives to help people understand patterns they learned growing up.
In session she listens for how family roles and early relationships still shape choices and reactions today. Conversations often cover boundaries, communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and control issues. For people managing eating concerns, she attends to body image and behaviors alongside the emotional factors that keep those patterns running.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University and a Master of Clinical Social Work from the University of Kansas. As an LSCSW licensed in Kansas, she has worked across settings with people facing trauma, domestic violence, and separation challenges. She integrates practical skills with reflective work on attachment and family patterns.
Outside work she keeps a cat and a French bulldog who sometimes appear on video. She enjoys hiking and prefers a relaxed, down-to-earth manner in sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes rooted in old family patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and reacting. This approach can help people recognize repeating roles from their family of origin and practice different ways of relating in present relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and pace rather than a fixed agenda. That means sessions are guided by what the client wants to work on, whether that is boundaries, communication, or coping with loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and together they will try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can shift as the client learns what helps most.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Ask about the specific session options offered when you schedule to see what will work with your routine.
